Unfortunately, many businesses throughout Texas employ fraud and deception to sell consumers substandard and/or defective goods and services. These tactics are not only objectionable but also illegal in Texas. To combat these practices, the Texas Legislature wrote into law the Deceptive Trades Practices Act (DTPA) which protects consumers from “false, misleading, or deceptive acts or practices.” The DTPA provides broad consumer protection rights involving fraud or misrepresentations such as the following:
Refusal to repair or replace defective products
Failure to perform contracted services
Failure to honor a warranty (either written or implied)
Selling used goods as “new”
Imposing phantom fees and surcharges
Charging for unnecessary parts or repairs
Failure to perform paid-for repairs
Failing to disclose information or causing confusion about good and services
Employing “bait and switch” tactics
False representing that work or services have been performed
