State Bar of Texas Section
The Deceptive Trade Practices Act (DTPA) is Texas’s primary consumer protection statute. The statute prohibits a list of deceptive trade practices deemed to be false, misleading or deceptive. The DTPA gives consumers the right to sue for damages. Consumers who win a suit brought under the DTPA, are entitled to attorney’s fees, and if they show the person acted “knowingly,” they can receive damages of up to three times their damages. Other consumer protections statutes tie in to the DTPA and allow consumers to sue under the DTPA for violation of those other statutes.

The Motor Vehicle Warranty Performance Obligations Statute contains what is known as the lemon law. The lemon law gives the owner ofa defective car the right to obligate the manufacturer of that defective car to buy it back. A lemon is defined as a car that has a serious defect that has been reported within the warranty term and has not been repaired in a reasonable number of attempts. The lemon law begins with section 6.07 of article 4413(36). “Warranty Performance Obligations” is the heading that begins the lemon law portion of the statute, but keep in mind, the actual phrase “lemon law” is not used in the statute.
