RETAIL SALES & CONSUMER LAW
What Is Retail And Consumer Law?
Small business fuels the economy, and retail and consumer law exist to promote the advertisement, protection, and sales of consumer products. Retail law also includes the protection rights of consumers to guarantee fair prices and fair trade, as well as advertisements and the quality of goods. We represent manufacturers, financial services companies, restaurants, food wholesalers, internet sellers, and brick-and-mortar stores. Our Dallas business lawyers work with small businesses and startups to help increase profits, protect company assets, manage employees, and minimize the risk of costly litigation.

Additional Retail Business Focus
Advertising and Deceptive Trade Practices:
Most states have laws prohibiting certain business practices deemed "deceptive trade." While Texas has not adopted the Uniform Deceptive Trade Practices Act, it has created its own body of law known as the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act (DTPA) with its own comprehensive law addressing deceptive trade. The Texas DTPA allows the attorney general, district attorneys, and consumers to file suit against violators. Some example of advertising and business practices that would violate the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act (DTPA) include the following:
- Price comparisons must be truthful;
- "Free" must mean really free;
- Failure to list all exclusions and limitations in advertisements;
- Illegal Bait-and-switch tactics;
- Under anticipating demand without issuing rain checks;
- Sellers cannot offer a “prize” if the consumer must pay to receive it; and
- Cannot sell used or refurbished products as "new."
