Texas DTPA route: 60-day notice, treble economic damages; pets are property

DTPA covers misrepresentation and implied-warranty breaches with a 60-day pre-suit notice and up to treble economic damages plus fees; it excludes bodily-injury claims, but a dog's injury is treated as property damage in Texas (Strickland v. Medlen, not verified here).
