Legal Question in Consumer Law in Texas

deceptive business practice?

I was informed that my home's slab was poured out of plan; as a result my exterior walls protrudes pass the slab. I hired a structural engineer to do a structural report. However, when I got the inspection report the structural defects were not included; I feel the engineer was deceptive. In his report he calls it a structural inspection however, not one the home's visible structural defects are included in his report. I hired him to do a structural report and he didn't give me what I paid for. I sent the engineer a certified letter disputing the inspection. As per usps, the address was undeliverable. I called information with his business address phone number, I looked up his address using his engineering certification number via Texas Board of Engineers website and I went on the B.B.B. website. He not a member of the BBB but I was able pull up his name and address on their site. All three sources listed the same address that was on the certified letter. I believed I have the correct address but he's refusing the certified letter. What else can I do? Thank you

Re: deceptive business practice?

If your letter conforms with the DTPA requirements, proof that you sent it to the last known address is sufficient. You should now file suit against him.
