The Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act (DTPA) is widely considered one of the most powerful consumer protection laws in the nation. It was enacted to protect consumers against false, misleading, and deceptive business practices.
If a business lies to you, breaches a warranty, or acts unconscionably, the DTPA allows you to sue them. If they acted "knowingly" or "intentionally," you can recover up to three times your economic and mental anguish damages.
We fight for Texans. Hyslip Legal uses the full force of the DTPA to hold businesses accountable and get you the compensation you deserve.

- Used as New: Representing that goods are original or new if they are deteriorated, reconditioned, reclaimed, used, or secondhand.
- Need for Repair: Knowingly making false or misleading statements of fact concerning the need for parts, replacement, or repair service.
