In this episode you will learn:
- The DTPA protects "consumers," defined as those who seek or acquire goods or services, including real estate, by purchase or lease.
- A critical exam point is that an agent can violate the DTPA without intending to deceive; an unintentional misrepresentation is still a violation.
- The four main categories of DTPA violations are false/misleading statements, breach of warranty, unconscionable actions, and failure to disclose important information.
- "Unconscionable conduct" under the DTPA involves taking grossly unfair advantage of a consumer's lack of knowledge, ability, or experience.
- A simple breach of contract is not a DTPA violation unless it is accompanied by a separate deceptive or unconscionable act.
