Consumer Law

The real world is not always fair, but Texas has powerful laws to protect consumers and businesses from unconscionable business practices. Under some of these statutes, like the Deceptive Trade Practices Act, you might be entitled to additional damages (commonly known as punitive damages) and reimbursement of your legal expenses, in addition to your actual damages.
