There are plenty of us that do a lot of out shopping at a Walmart in Dallas, Houston or in Tyler, Texas. It could be for clothes. It could be for electronics. It could even be for our weekly stock up on groceries. Recently, a class-action lawsuit was brought against Walmart in regards to how produce or meats were weighed when checked out. Due to inaccuracies in those measurements, you could be owed some money from that lawsuit. Here's how to claim that money.
