Receive compensation for violations

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.

The 'Laundry List' of Violations

The DTPA contains a "laundry list" of over 30 specific acts that are defined as false, misleading, or deceptive. Some key examples include:

  • Passing Off: Passing off goods or services as those of another.
  • 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.
  • Disaster Fraud: Taking advantage of a disaster declared by the Governor to charge exorbitant prices (price gouging).

The DTPA's damage provisions are what make it so effective:

Mental Anguish

If the conduct was committed "knowingly," you can also recover damages for mental anguish.

Treble Damages (3x)

Attorney Fees

The winning consumer is entitled to recover reasonable and necessary attorney fees.
