State of Texas Warns About Price Gouging Due To Hurricane Laura

State law prohibits vendors from overcharging when it comes to necessities like water, food, batteries, generators, towing, clothing, medical supplies, lodging, repair work, and even fuel before and after possible storms hit. Those who break the law face stiff penalties. If you think someone ripped you off, call the Texas Attorney General’s office at (800) 621-0508.
