So, You Just Got Done Wrong in Texas? How to Sic the Attorney General on Those S varmints!
Let's face it, sometimes Texas hospitality goes a little south. You buy a car that turns out to be about as reliable as a bucking bronco with a caffeine addiction, or hire a plumber who mysteriously disappears after "fixing" your pipes with chewing gum and duct tape. Well, hold onto your ten-gallon hats, because there's a hero in this dusty saga, and their name is the Texas Attorney General!
But First, Have You Tried Being Polite, Y'all?
Now, before we get all Wyatt Earp on these varmints, a Texan's gotta try the civilized approach first. Reach out to the business directly. Let them know you're mighty disappointed with their service (or lack thereof) and see if they can't lasso a solution. If they offer you a fix that's fairer than a bluebonnet bonnet contest, then great! Crisis averted.
But if they shrug their shoulders more than a tumbleweed in a dust storm, then it's time to bring out the big guns (or should we say, the big gavel?).
