Award Winning Consumer Protection Starts Here.
In Texas, those who purchase or lease a new vehicle have certain protections under the state’s lemon laws. These laws are designed to protect consumers from vehicles that have substantial defects or recurring issues that cannot be repaired within a reasonable number of attempts.
Under the Texas Occupations Code §2301.601, a lemon is defined as a vehicle that has:
- A defect or condition that substantially impairs the use or market value of the vehicle
- A defect or condition that is covered by the manufacturer’s warranty
- The defect or condition arose within the first 24 months after the consumer’s delivery date or before the vehicle reached 24,000 miles.
When repairs become routine and the manufacturer isn’t stepping up, your car may qualify as a lemon. That’s when a Texas Lemon Law attorney can help protect your rights and pursue compensation.
With 500+ satisfied clients, $11 million+ in cash settlements, and 30+ industry awards, Auto Lemon Lawyer has a proven record of results you can trust.

Do I Qualify for a Claim Under Texas Lemon Law?
To qualify for protection under Texas lemon laws, claimants must meet specific requirements including but not always limited to:
- You must purchase or lease the vehicle in Texas
- The defect must occur within the warranty period provided by the manufacturer
- The vehicle must not have been damaged due to abuse, neglect, or unauthorized modifications
- The claimant must have given the manufacturer reasonable attempts to repair the defect
- The vehicle is/was designed and used primarily for personal, family, or household purposes.
Eligible new, used, owned, and leased vehicles may qualify under Texas lemon laws if they meet these requirements, including:
- Cars and trucks
- Motorcycles
- Recreational vehicles
- Vans and SUVs
- ATVs and UTVs
- Boats and watercraft
Despite meeting all criteria, the most critical aspect of eligibility requirements is the statute of limitations.
In Texas, you must file a claim within six months of:
- Express warranty term expiration;
- 24 months after purchase; or
- 24,000 miles after the vehicle’s delivery date (RTV not included)
Determining if you meet the eligibility requirements requires undergoing a painstaking process. You could lose out on your chance for compensation if you do this yourself.
Don’t risk your financial future over a lemon. Contact Auto Lemon Law in Texas for efficient, compassionate, and comprehensive legal assistance with your case.
How Much Is My Texas Auto Lemon Case Worth?
Texas allows eligible consumers to recover their vehicle’s full purchase or lease price.
You may recover additional damages such as:
- Repair costs
- Towing and rental car expenses
- Attorney fees and court costs
The value of your case depends on multiple factors, including the severity of the defect, the number of repair attempts made, and the impact it had on your daily life.
Considering that a new car in Texas costs upwards of $42,000 and court fees can total thousands of dollars, it is essential to have an experienced Texas auto lemon lawyer working to secure maximum compensation.
What Types of Vehicles Are Eligible?
We are dedicated to fighting for the rights of Texas consumers who bought or leased defective vehicles within the past four years.
Common lemon law claims we’ve handled in Texas include:
- New vehicle lemons
- Used vehicle lemons
- RV and motorhome lemons
- Boat and watercraft lemons
- Motorcycle lemons
- GM/Chevy lemon law cases
- Ford lemon law cases

- Chrysler and Jeep lemon law cases
No matter what type of vehicle you have, if it meets the eligibility requirements for Texas lemon laws, our team can seek the compensation you deserve.
How Much Do We Charge? Who Pays Attorney Fees?
The law provides that if the buyer proves a manufacturing defect with vehicle that the manufacturer is liable for the buyers’ attorney fees.
Part of our investigation and evaluation process is to identify manufacturing defects. When we proceed, we are confident we can prove a manufacturing defect. Thus, we seek our attorney fees from the manufacturer.
If a settlement can be reached, the fees will be part of the settlement agreement. If the case goes to trial, the fees will be part of a verdict or order. Either way, you are not required to pre-pay fees, pay a retainer or pay fees in the event we fail to make a recovery on your behalf.
What Defects or Repairs Qualify Under Texas Auto Lemon Law?
Any defect or condition that substantially impairs your vehicle’s use or market value and that the manufacturer’s warranty covers may qualify under Texas lemon laws, including but not limited to:
- Engine issues
- Transmission problems
- Steering and suspension issues
- Electrical malfunctions
- Safety recalls
Even if you don’t think your vehicle qualifies, consult an experienced lemon law attorney in Texas to explore all possible options.
What Is Reasonable Repair?
Under Texas lemon laws, the manufacturer must be given a reasonable number of attempts to repair the defect before the vehicle can be considered a lemon.
This means that they have been provided with an adequate amount of time and opportunity to fix the issue.
In most cases, four or more repair attempts for the same defect or two or more repairs for a severe safety hazard are considered reasonable.
However, this can vary depending on the specific circumstances of your case.
It is essential to keep records of all repairs and communication with the manufacturer to ensure a strong case for compensation.
Our Texas auto lemon lawyers can guide you through this process and help you gather the necessary evidence to support your claim.
What is the Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act?
The Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act is a United States federal law (15 U.S.C. § 2301 et seq.) that governs warranties on consumer products. The law does not require any product to have a warranty (it may be sold “as is”), but if it does have a warranty, the warranty must comply with this law. The law was created to fix problems as a result of manufacturers using disclaimers on warranties in an unfair or misleading manner and provides consumers with remedies for violation of express and implied warranties.
What is the Unfair Trade Practices Act?
Any person who suffers any ascertainable loss of money or movable property, corporeal or incorporeal, as a result of the use or employment by another person of an unfair or deceptive method, act, or practice declared unlawful by R.S. 51:1405, may bring an action individually but not in a representative capacity to recover actual damages.
