Emeanua v. Bu Ike Social Clubholds that a social club could face breach of contract liability when it disciplined members without following the voting procedure required by its constitution and bylaws. The Fifth Court treated the club’s governing documents as a contract between the club and its members, then focused on the bylaw requiring a decision “by simple majority” before ethics-committee recommendations could take effect. Specifically, the Court held that “simple majority” meant “more than fifty percent of those voting,” and the club’s 32 votes in favor out of 66 total votes fell “two votes short of a simple majority.” No. 05-24-00851-CV, Jul. 22, 2026.
