False Advertising Car Promotions

Summary

In Texas, false advertising is prohibited under the Deceptive Trade Practices Act, which bans false, misleading, or deceptive business practices. If a dealership advertises a 0% interest rate via email but does not honor it, this could be considered false advertising. Consumers deceived by such practices have legal remedies available. Save any evidence of the offer, such as the email, and consider discussing the issue with the dealership. If unresolved, you may seek legal advice or file a complaint with the appropriate consumer protection agency.
