When Business Practices Cross the Line
A deceptive trade practice may occur when a business uses false, misleading, or unfair representations when selling goods or services. The Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act (DTPA) provides legal protections for consumers who are harmed by certain deceptive or unconscionable business conduct.
