On July 13, 2015, the Texas Attorney General filed suit against Topaz Promotions LLC dba Yellow Pages Online Services, Ypedia and Ypedia Promotions, Ad Teleamerica, Inc, dba Yellow Pages Directories, and Barbara Sommers, individually ("Sommers/Topaz et al"). The Texas Attorney General is seeking civil penalties and injunctive relief. This is a pending action.
The Texas Attorney General alleges that Sommers/Topaz et al perpetrated a business activity that utilized misleading solicitations to business customers by way of direct mailers. The Texas Attorney General alleges that these mailers asked for verification of contact information on the front side of the mailers but only mentioned a fee for an online business listing on the back of the mailer. The Texas Attorney General alleges that the mailers used terms such as "Final Notice" and "Free" when neither were the case with the initial mailer. The Texas Attorney General further alleges that business customers who did sent back the mailer were presented with an invoice totaling $298 to $329 for the online listing. The Attorney General further alleges that the online listing was of limited value to the business customers.
The Texas Attorney General alleges that these actions violated multiple sections of Section 17.46 of the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act.
