To begin the complaint process, you must complete and submit a lemon law complaint form, which can be found on the TxDMV website. A filing fee—typically around $35—is required with your submission. Along with the form, you’ll need to provide documentation such as your sales or lease contract, detailed records of all repair attempts, and a timeline of events outlining the problems you’ve experienced and how the manufacturer or dealership responded. 

The TxDMV may then schedule a hearing where you and the manufacturer will present your sides of the case. If the hearing officer finds that your vehicle qualifies under the Texas Lemon Law, they may order a repair, replacement, or refund. If the lemon law process through the TxDMV does not lead to a resolution, or if the decision is not in your favor, you may pursue a lawsuit in civil court. 

It’s highly recommended that you consult a Texas lemon law attorney in these cases. An experienced attorney can assess whether your case meets the legal criteria, assist in gathering additional evidence, and help file a lawsuit within the statute of limitations.

In Texas, the lemon law process starts when you file a complaint with the Texas DMV. The state then reviews your case, and if it meets the legal standards, you may be offered a replacement vehicle, a refund, or another resolution. The process is designed to offer a quicker, less costly solution than filing a lawsuit. If you’re not satisfied with the outcome at this stage, you may file a lemon lawsuit.

Texas does not have a used car return law. Once you buy a used car, the sale is final. Most used vehicles are sold “as is,” which means the buyer is responsible for any repairs. However, you may pursue a remedy from the manufacturer if your used car is still under the original warranty and meets the remaining criteria of the Texas Lemon Law.

The “30-day” part of the Texas Lemon Law refers to one of the ways you can prove your car is a lemon. If your vehicle has been in the shop for a total of 30 or more days and the issue is still not fixed, it’s typically considered a lemon. Keep in mind that the issue in question must be significant and covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.

Texas does not have a “cooling-off” period for car sales, which means you usually can’t return a car unless the dealer explicitly offers a return policy. However, if the vehicle has significant, warranty-covered problems, you might qualify for a repair, repurchase, or replacement under the Texas Lemon Law.

Yes, the Texas Lemon Law was created primarily for new cars and demonstrator vehicles that are under warranty. It covers vehicles with defects that create a serious safety hazard or substantially impair the use or market value of the vehicle. Additionally, some used cars may qualify if the original manufacturer’s warranty was still active when the defect first surfaced.
