EXPOSING THE TRUTH

Secrets of the Texas Criminal Justice System and Your Rights

Fraud is generally defined as the deliberate use of deception for personal gain—usually at the expense of another person, business, or organization. In Texas, fraud can trigger both civil and criminal consequences, depending on the nature and extent of the misconduct. Whether you believe you’ve been the victim of fraud, or you’re facing allegations of it, speaking with a knowledgeable Denton fraud lawyer is a critical first step. A skilled attorney can help you understand your rights, evaluate your case, and determine the legal path forward.

Common Types of Fraud Cases in Denton

Fraud isn’t a one-size-fits-all offense. Over time, and especially with the rise of digital technology, people have developed increasingly sophisticated ways to deceive others for profit. In Denton and across Texas, common types of fraud include:

  • Identity theft
  • Mail and wire fraud
  • Telemarketing and phishing scams
  • Credit card or financial account fraud
  • Securities and investment fraud
  • Internet and online sales scams
  • Check fraud or forged documents
  • Real estate and mortgage fraud
  • Timeshare and rental scams
  • Charity fraud
  • Pyramid schemes or multi-level marketing scams

 

Each case is unique and often involves complex paper trails, digital communications, or contractual agreements. A Denton fraud attorney can help untangle the facts and present a strong case, whether you’re the accused or the victim.

Fraud Laws in Texas

In Texas, fraud can fall under several legal categories, including civil fraud, criminal fraud, and consumer protection violations. One of the most important consumer-focused laws in the state is the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act (DTPA). Under this law, individuals who have been misled or harmed by dishonest business practices may seek compensation—sometimes up to three times the actual damages, plus attorney’s fees.

Fraud cases may also involve breach of contract claims, especially when the fraud is tied to a business or service agreement. In many situations, a criminal investigation may be initiated by law enforcement, but victims can also choose to file a civil lawsuit for damages through a private attorney—regardless of whether criminal charges are filed.
