The Fud Trailer Company, which operates under the corporate name Trending Group Inc., is facing a civil lawsuit filed in Louisiana in June 2024 by a customer called Faucett Enterprises LLC.

How the Company Has Responded
In its replies, the company has generally directed customers to its warranty process, cited material lead times and environmental conditions as reasons for repair delays, and referred complainants to specific store managers. In at least two 2026 complaints, the company said it provided customers with $1,000 each as a “goodwill reimbursement” for operational downtime and missed events tied to trailer problems.3BBB.

Your Options Under Texas Law
If you bought a food trailer in Texas and ran into problems like the ones above, the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act (DTPA) is the main consumer-protection tool. The DTPA prohibits false or misleading statements about goods, failing to disclose known defects to induce a sale, and unconscionable conduct that takes advantage of a buyer’s lack of knowledge.4Texas Law Help. Deceptive Trade Practices Act Protections for Consumers
Breach of express and implied warranties is also actionable under the DTPA. That includes the implied warranty of merchantability, which requires goods to be fit for their ordinary purpose, and the implied warranty that work be performed with the skill expected of a professional. Before filing suit, Texas law requires you to send the seller written notice at least 60 days in advance by certified mail with return receipt requested. A successful plaintiff can recover up to three times their economic damages plus court costs and attorney’s fees.4Texas Law Help. Deceptive Trade Practices Act Protections for Consumers
