FAQ
The composition of goods is another common category of deceptive claims. For example, a product advertised as “wool” had better be 100 percent wool; a mixture of wool and synthetic fabrics cannot be advertised as wool.
If you're selling something that does not do what you say it does, then you're being deceptive. If you're nudging someone to buy something they already want (and will add value to their lives), that's persuasion. TL;DR: Deception is a lie, persuasion is a tool.
An act or practice may be found to be deceptive if there is a representation, omission, or practice that misleads or is likely to mislead a consumer. Deception is not limited to situations in which a consumer has already been misled.
Unethical sales practices encompass a range of actions that, while potentially profitable in the short term, undermine trust and integrity in the long run. These practices can include misleading advertising, high-pressure tactics, false promises, and exploiting consumer vulnerabilities.
Fortunately, the Deceptive Trade Practices (DTPA) came about in 1973 and designed to protect consumers from these businesses' false promises. It's not the same as a liability case if someone gets injured, but it can help obtain a settlement from insurances.
The primary tool the Office of the Attorney General uses to protect 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 under the act.
The primary purpose of the DTPA is to protect consumers against false, misleading, and deceptive business and insurance practices, unconscionable actions, and breaches of warranty.
Interpret the DTPA consistent with its stated purpose, which was to "protect consumers against false, misleading, and deceptive business practices, breaches of warranty, and unconscionable actions and to provide efficient and economical procedures to secure such protection."
The statement which is true about the DTPA laundry list is: B) Even if an act is not on the list, a judge can decide that it's a violation.
