The Deceptive Trade Practices Act and various other consumer protection statutes executed by the Attorney General of Texas ensure consumer protection.
- The Law also provides a three-day window for canceling purchases made by a consumer from a place other than the ordinary place of business of the seller.
- For the cancellation to be enforceable by law, the purchase should be for a value of more than $25. In addition, it should not be a transaction related to selling insurance, a real estate purchase of less than $100, or a sale transaction effected through mail or telephone.
- Further, for online catalog purchases, the consumer has the right to cancel a transaction if the seller does not ship the merchandise within a reasonable period.
