Which of the following is NOT considered a deceptive act under the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act?

The correct answer is the act of advertising property as advertised. This is because when a property is advertised accurately, it complies with legal standards and does not involve misleading information. Deceptive acts are defined as those that mislead or deceive consumers, which typically involves false claims or omissions about a property.

Advertising misrepresentation involves providing false or misleading information about a property, which clearly falls under deceptive practices. Similarly, making false property descriptions misleads buyers regarding the true nature of the property, and omitting known defects in the property fails to disclose important information that could affect a consumer's decision.

In contrast, advertising property as it actually is does not involve any deception; it reflects the true aspects of the property without misrepresentation. This highlights the distinction between truthful advertising practices and those that could mislead or deceive consumers.
