That is because the Deceptive Trade Practices Act (DTPA) in Texas has a two-year “statute of limitations.” A lawsuit must be filed within two years of the fraudulent sale, lease, repair, service, or other offending conduct.

Actions under the DTPA must be commenced within 2 years after the date on which the DTPA violation occurred. The action must be commenced within 2 years after the actual act, or within 2 years after the consumer discovered or should have discovered the occurrence of the DTPA violation.
