Welcome to Texas Criminal Defense Group Austin!

Fraud is a serious offense in Texas and can result in both criminal and civil consequences. In Austin, fraud-related cases are pursued aggressively by local authorities due to the financial and reputational damage they often cause. Whether you’re under investigation or believe you’ve been the victim of deceptive conduct, working with an experienced Austin fraud defense attorney is critical for protecting your rights and navigating the complexities of the legal system.

What Is Fraud Under Texas Law?

In broad terms, fraud involves the intentional use of false information, misrepresentation, or deception for personal gain—usually at the expense of a person, business, or institution. These cases can range from minor white-collar crimes to large-scale financial schemes that attract federal attention.

Fraud can fall under either criminal or civil jurisdiction in Austin, and sometimes both, depending on the specific acts and monetary damages involved.

Common Types of Fraud Cases We See in Austin

With Austin’s growing tech sector, real estate market, and financial services industry, a wide variety of fraud offenses can arise. Some of the most frequently prosecuted types of fraud in the area include:

Each of these fraud categories can involve complex financial records, emails, contracts, and digital communications—making it essential to work with a legal team that understands both the evidence and the applicable laws.

Fraud Laws Specific to Texas

Texas law classifies fraud-related crimes under various sections of the Penal Code, depending on the offense. In many cases, fraud charges are based on the dollar value of the property or services involved, with higher values leading to more serious penalties.

Additionally, the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act (DTPA) gives consumers in Austin the ability to sue businesses or individuals who have engaged in false, misleading, or deceptive business practices. If successful, claimants may recover up to three times the damages, plus legal costs.

In civil fraud cases, victims can also pursue compensation through private lawsuits—even if no criminal charges are filed.
