Understanding Fraud Under Texas Law

Fraud generally involves a false statement, deception, or misrepresentation made intentionally to secure an unfair or unlawful gain. Texas law recognizes several types of fraud, each with unique elements and potential penalties. Common forms of fraud include:

1. Fraudulent Misrepresentation

A person makes a false statement of fact, knowing it is false, with the intention of inducing another person to rely on it.

2. Fraud by Omission

Failing to disclose important information when there is a legal duty to do so.

3. Business or Commercial Fraud

Deceptive actions in business transactions, contracts, or commercial dealings.

4. Insurance Fraud

Submitting false claims or misrepresenting facts to obtain insurance benefits.

5. Real Estate Fraud

Misrepresentations involving property sales, disclosures, liens, financing, or title documents.

6. Credit Card or Financial Fraud

Unauthorized use of financial information or identity theft to obtain money or goods.

7. Wire, Mail, or Cyber Fraud

Using electronic or mailed communications to defraud individuals or businesses.

Fraud cases require careful analysis, strong evidence, and a strategic legal approach. Attorney Kevin Acevedo brings a deep understanding of Texas fraud laws to every case, ensuring clients receive clear guidance and strong advocacy.

Civil Fraud vs. Criminal Fraud

Fraud can result in civil lawsuits, criminal charges, or both. Ace Law handles cases on both sides of fraud disputes.

Civil Fraud

Civil fraud occurs when a victim suffers financial damages due to deception. In civil cases, the primary goal is compensation for losses.

Criminal Fraud

Criminal fraud involves intentional deceit that violates state or federal criminal laws. This can lead to:

• Fines
• Restitution
• Probation
• Jail or prison time

Attorney Kevin Acevedo evaluates each case individually to determine the best approach, whether it involves negotiation, litigation, or defending against criminal allegations.
