MCALLEN – Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott today resolved five price-gouging cases he filed against South Texas motel operators for their improper conduct during Hurricane Dolly.
Each of the five defendants –- Motel 6–Harlingen, Best Western Las Palmas Inn, Comfort Inn–Edinburg, Comfort Inn–Pharr and Country Hearth Inn & Suites Pharr/McAllen –- entered into an agreed final judgment and permanent injunction.
