(a) If the attorney general has reason to believe that a person is engaging in, has engaged in, or is about to engage in an act or practice that violates Section 17.902, and that proceedings would be in the public interest, the attorney general may bring an action in the name of the state against the person to restrain that act or practice by temporary or permanent injunction.

The report must include a statement regarding the final disposition of the matter.
