DALLAS — A lawsuit filed in Dallas County on March 3 alleges that Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones had a child with a woman in the mid-1990s and that he and the woman agreed to a settlement to financially support the woman as long as it was kept a secret.
A woman, now 25, said in a lawsuit that she is Jones’ daughter. She is suing Jones and asking a court to find that she isn’t legally bound by the settlement, which was made when she was about a year old, without being sued by Jones or losing her financial trusts, according to the lawsuit.
The lawsuit was temporarily sealed Wednesday ahead of a hearing scheduled for March 31. The Dallas Morning News obtained the lawsuit through the county’s online court records system before the file was sealed.
