Deceptive trade practices are well-known and established commercial law principles and play a fundamental role in defining how businesses operate. In Texas, the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Consumer Protection Act protects consumers from harmful commercial activities. The Act outlines thirty-two specific actions that are prohibited.
