It occupies a street corner in Texarkana, a city that straddles the border of Arkansas and Texas. Across the street-and across the state line, which runs down the middle of the street-is Rico's Tacos. The two businesses compete for customers. Recently, Bento has begun to suspect that Rico's is engaging in competitive behavior that is illegal. Bento's manager overheard several of Rico's employees discussing these competitive tactics while on a break at a nearby Starbucks.

If Bento is unwilling to accept this result, what are its options? Explain
