The Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act or "DTPA" is a set of statutes designed to supplement traditional common-law causes of action. The DTPA seeks to punish false, misleading, or deceptive acts or practices in the conduct of any trade or practice. Because of the Act's liberal construction and attractive monetary remedies, it provides a powerful weapon to a broad range of plaintiffs.
