According to documents accessed earlier this week by CowboysSI.com, a woman is suing Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, claiming she is Jones' biological daughter.

A hearing is scheduled for March 31.

Alexandria Davis is now asking the court to find out if she is legally bound by an agreement between Jones and her mother (which allegedly included woman $375,000 paid to the mother), and to see if she can legally prove that Jones, 79, is her father.
