Texas Consumer Rights Attorney

The primary law that protects Texas consumers is the Deceptive Trade Practices Act (DTPA).

This law lists many practices that are false, deceptive, or misleading.

When you fall victim to illegal practices covered by the DTPA, you may have the right to sue for damages.

The DTPA makes it illegal for businesses to take advantage of a consumer’s lack of knowledge, ability, or experience to a “grossly unfair degree.” If this has happened to you in Texas, you should contact David Langenfeld, an experienced Texas consumer rights attorney, to purse compensation.

In addition to simply taking advantage of a consumer’s lack of knowledge, ability, or experience to a grossly unfair degree, the DTPA makes it illegal for a business to engage in specific acts such as:

• Home sellers that lie about, or who simply fail to disclose, deficiencies with a property
• Sellers of businesses who lie about or simply fail to disclose material problems with the business
• Car dealers representing that a vehicle was in a better condition than it actually is
• Making false statements about the need to repair a product, home, or vehicle
• Making false claims about price reductions
• Falsely labeling or advertising the origin, contents, or ingredients of a product
• Misrepresenting the uses or benefits of a good or service
• Falsely bad-mouthing or disparaging the goods or services of another seller
• Lying about your rights or terms in a contract
• Failing to honor a warranty
• Conducting a “bait and switch” where one thing is promised while intending to deliver something different

If you win your suit and prove that the defendant violated your consumer rights, you may be eligible to recover up to three times your economic damages and you may also be entitled to monetary compensation for mental anguish as well as attorney’s fees and court costs.

You work hard for your money, so David Langenfeld, a proven Texas consumer rights attorney, fights hard when you’ve been ripped off by dishonest and deceptive businesses.
