Texas DTPA Forms and Practice Guide

by David G. Tekell

Two Hundred Seventy-Four Forms in CD and in Print With Supporting Law and Procedure

Defendants are fighting harder than ever. Revisions to the Deceptive Trade Practices-Consumer Protection Act continue to give consumers more hurdles to overcome. The courts are strict in determining which DTPA cases fit within the "laundry list" pleading provisions. A "knowing" violation is required for all mental anguish damages. And in some cases, damage caps may eliminate DTPA protection altogether.

Obtain practical, proven tools for handling these tricky cases in Bragg and Curry’s Texas DTPA Forms and Practice Guide.

You receive a comprehensive collection of forms, from custom Insurance Code interrogatories and pattern deposition questions through jury charges to laundry list questions and trial objection checklists. You will also find detailed legal discussions and step-by-step procedures in every major consumer law category, including:

Purchase of goods and services
Investments and business opportunities
Home and land purchases
Rental property
Assisted living facilities
Commercial property leases
Construction defects
Lender liability
Auto purchase and repair
Insurance code violation

Full-Text CD
The CD included with the book contains the full text of the book and over 274 DTPA forms. You receive notices, responses, petitions, interrogatories, deposition outlines, motions, jury charges, and more.
