Ghosted after the deposit: what Dallas-Fort Worth brides can actually do in Texas
You paid a deposit. They stopped answering. Here is what Texas law gives you — and the steps that actually work before you sue.
- Up to triple damages if you can show the vendor knowingly deceived you.
- Attorney fees shift to them if you prevail, which is why attorneys will take these cases on contingency.
- Better Business Bureau: a public complaint the vendor has to respond to.

0The DJ didn't show up. Here's what Texas treats as a "material breach"
A DJ no-show is one of the clearest cases of material breach in wedding law — and it opens the door to consequential damages most brides don''t realize are recoverable.
- Full refund of deposits and payments.
- Replacement cost: the amount you paid to scramble a last-minute DJ, which is usually 2–3x market rate because it''s an emergency booking.
- Treble damages — up to 3x the economic loss.
