Overview

• Robert Cary McNair Jr., represented by Tony Buzbee, filed the case in New York Supreme Court following a Sept. 8 letter to Roger Goodell seeking mediation.
• The Sept. 25 summons alleges tortious interference to remove him from the Texans’ trust board and from his CEO role at the family investment firm, McNair Interests.
• The filing links his ouster to queries about the franchise’s response to Deshaun Watson sexual-misconduct allegations and a 2023 case involving minority owner Javier Loya.
• The suit seeks more than $100 million in total relief, including over $60 million in damages plus interest, attorneys’ fees and other costs.
• The NFL and the Texans have not commented, and the dispute follows a dropped 2023–24 guardianship bid involving Janice McNair and Cal McNair’s subsequent approval as principal owner.
