Recent Review
“Contacted the firm back in February to handle a legal issue with a former customer who was pursuing legal action. Roger and his associates Tom and Katelyn took immediate action. I had a bad experience with previous counsel so I needed a firm that could come in and clean up the mess. They worked very hard and were diligent in getting me in a position to have a fighting chance.”

What Are Deceptive Trade Practices Under Texas Law?
The Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act (DTPA) is designed to protect consumers—and in some cases businesses—from unfair, false, misleading, or unconscionable conduct in commerce. A deceptive trade practice can involve misrepresenting the quality of a product or service, failing to disclose critical information, or using sales tactics that take advantage of the buyer.
Common examples include:
- False advertising that overpromises what a product can do
- Hidden fees and charges not disclosed upfront
- Defective goods sold without disclosing known problems
- Unauthorized credit card charges or billing tricks
- Misrepresenting the condition of used items
- Refusing to honor written warranties or misrepresenting warranty coverage
- Bait-and-switch tactics (advertising one offer, then switching terms or availability)
The DTPA often applies to transactions involving goods, services, real estate, and certain insurance-related matters in Texas. Individuals can be victims, and businesses may be impacted as well—especially when deceptive conduct affects commercial relationships or market competition.
Types of DTPA Cases We Handle in Sugar Land
Our Sugar Land Deceptive Trade Practices Attorneys represent clients who have suffered financial harm due to deceptive business conduct. We handle matters involving both plaintiff and defense representation, including:
Consumer Fraud Cases
When businesses deceive buyers about products or services, they should be held accountable. This may involve false statements about capabilities, failure to disclose defects, vehicle-related misrepresentation issues, and home repair or contractor scams. We also handle matters involving predatory or deceptive terms in lending, financing, and credit-related transactions where applicable.
Breach of Warranty Claims
A warranty is not supposed to be a marketing gimmick. If a company refuses to honor an express or implied warranty, denies valid claims, or misrepresents the scope of coverage, we help clients enforce their rights and pursue damages tied to the breach.
Business Competition and Unfair Practices
Some DTPA-related disputes involve business-to-business conduct—where one company harms another through dishonest methods. This can include false advertising that damages a competitor, misleading statements about services, and other deceptive tactics used to gain an unfair advantage.

Damages Available in DTPA Claims
Successful DTPA claims can lead to recovery beyond a simple refund. Depending on the facts, a victim may be able to recover:
- Economic damages (actual financial losses)
- In certain cases, additional damages that may increase recovery when conduct was knowing or intentional
- Attorney’s fees and court costs (where permitted)
- Interest (pre- and post-judgment, when applicable)
- Injunctive relief to stop ongoing deceptive conduct
Because DTPA cases can be fact-specific and document-heavy, strong preparation matters. A well-built claim is often grounded in contracts, invoices, marketing materials, communications, warranty terms, and timelines showing what was promised versus what was delivered.
