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.
A DTPA lawsuit generally must be filed within two years after the date on which the false, misleading, or deceptive act or practice occurred. If the deceptive act took place over a period of time, then, to be safe, you should begin suit two years from the date of the first such action.

What is required for a real estate agent to be subject to the DTPA? The answer is that the agent made an express misrepresentation that is not advice or opinion. The answer is suffered damages. A misrepresentation claim cannot be made unless the plaintiff has been damaged.
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.
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.
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.
If your complaint meets our complaint acceptance criteria, your complaint will be sent to the business within approximately two business days. The business will be asked to respond within 14 calendar days. You will be notified of the business's response when we receive it (or notified that we received no response).
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.
