Your Key Consumer Rights in Texas
Texas consumers are protected by federal laws (FDCPA, FCRA, TCPA, etc.) and strong state statutes like the Texas Debt Collection Act and Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act (DTPA).
| Right / Protection | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) | No harassment, threats, lies, or calls at unreasonable hours. Violations = $1,000+ per violation + attorney fees |
| Texas Debt Collection Act (TDCA) | Additional state protections against abusive collection – stronger than federal in many cases |
| Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act (DTPA) | Triple damages for false, misleading, or deceptive business practices |
| Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) | Right to accurate credit reports and sue for errors |
| Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) | No unwanted robocalls or texts – $500–$1,500 per violation |
| Auto Repossession Rights (UCC Article 9) | No breach of peace, must return personal property free, proper notice before sale |
