Description

The questions considered are whether the trial court properly calculated damages resulting from a knowing violation of the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices-Consumer Protection Act (DTPA), TEX. BUS. & COM. CODE ANN. ?? 17.41-.63 (Vernon Supp. 1985); whether there is some evidence to support the jurys finding that Jim Walter Homes, Inc. and Mid-State Homes, Inc. (Jim Walter Homes) knowingly violated the DTPA; and whether the Valencias gave Jim Walter Homes sufficient notice of their DTPA claim. Jim Walter Homes was found to have violated both the DTPA and the Texas Consumer Credit Code (Credit Code), TEX. REV. CIV. STAT. ANN. art. 5069-6.01 to 6.09 (Vernon Supp. 1985). Judgment was rendered that the Valencias recover $49,728 based upon the DTPA violation and that Jim Walter Homes forfeit all amounts owing on the construction of the house based upon the Credit Code violation. The court of appeals affirmed. 679 S.W.2d 29. We modify the judgment of the court of appeals and affirm that judgment of the court of appeals and affirm that judgment was modified.
