FAQ
A breach of the warranty can be asserted in an action for violations of the DTPA, but it also can be asserted in a common-law action. A corollary to La Sara's pronouncement that warranty claims must be established independently of the DTPA is that defenses to these warranties also will be brought into the DTPA.
In order to sue under the DTPA, several elements must be met. The elements of a DTPA action include that the plaintiff must be a consumer, the defendant must have committed one of the proscribed acts under the DTPA, and the defendant's actions must have been the producing cause of the plaintiff's harm.
BUSINESS AND COMMERCE CODE CHAPTER 17. DECEPTIVE TRADE PRACTICES. (2) "proprietary mark" includes word, name, symbol, device, and any combination of them in any form or arrangement, used by a person to identify his tangible personal property and distinguish it from the tangible personal property of another.
The DTPA provides that "false, misleading, or deceptive acts or practices in the conduct of any trade or commerce are hereby declared unlawful." The DTPA prohibits certain acts or practices "in the conduct of any trade or commerce." This is a very broad provision.
Explanation: The most likely action to be a violation of the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices-Consumer Protection Act would be misleading advertising. This act prohibits false, misleading, or deceptive acts or practices in connection with the sale of goods or services.
Elements of a DTPA Claim Generally, to prevail on a DTPA claim, plaintiffs must establish three elements: The plaintiff is a consumer; The defendant engaged in false, misleading, or deceptive acts; and. The acts were a producing cause of the consumer's damages.
To seek relief under the Texas DTPA, you must qualify as a consumer. A consumer may be an individual, partnership, corporation, LLC or even a state agency.
Steps to Filing a DTPA Claim The process begins with providing a written notice to the offending business at least 60 days before filing a lawsuit, detailing the complaint and specifying the alleged violations of 17.46(b) of the Texas Business and Commerce Act.
