Texas consumer protection laws — state UDAP statutes + federal FTC Act + Magnuson-Moss + similar — provide treble damages + attorney's fees for deceptive business practices.

Texas hospital-acquired infections (MRSA, C. diff, sepsis) cause 100,000+ US deaths annually + are often preventable through proper infection control — strong negligence + medical malpractice claims.

Texas criminal restitution requires defendants to repay victims for losses caused by the crime — mandatory in many cases, enforceable as civil judgment, often non-dischargeable in bankruptcy.
