According to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, Google, a division of Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL), has agreed to pay $8 million to resolve charges that it used deceptive ads to promote the Pixel 4 smartphone. 

The federal government and state lawyers have investigated the search and advertising giant for antitrust and consumer protection laws violations. The company also produces Android smartphone software and controls YouTube. The federal government has brought two antitrust cases.

In this case, Paxton’s office claimed that Google used radio announcers to provide glowing reviews of the Pixel 4 despite the company’s refusal to let them use one of the devices.

In a statement, Paxton added, “Google’s statements better be true if they’re going to advertise in Texas.” Our resolution holds Google responsible for deceiving Texans for financial advantage in this case because the business made patently untrue assertions.

In a statement, Google stated that it takes adherence to advertising rules seriously. Jose Castaneda, a spokeswoman, said: “We are delighted to have resolved this matter.
