Lemon Law Attorneys - Corpus Christi, TX

What is the Lemon Law in Corpus Christi?

The lemon law in Corpus Christi, known as the Texas Lemon Law, holds auto manufacturers responsible for the defective vehicles they sell and lease. This means that if your vehicle has a warranty-covered defect, you may be eligible for a refund, replacement vehicle, or cash settlement.

Texas designed its Lemon Law to make filing a claim accessible to all consumers. So when your case prevails, the manufacturer must pay your attorney’s fees. And they do so in addition to compensating you for your defective vehicle.

Do I Have a Lemon?

The lemon law in Corpus Christi covers standard cars and trucks (weighing less than 10,000 lbs) purchased or leased in Texas. Your vehicle likely qualifies as a lemon if: 

• It has a defect that substantially impairs the vehicle’s use, safety, or value, AND
• The defect was covered by the manufacturer’s warranty when the issue first surfaced, AND
• The auto manufacturer has failed to remedy the defect within a reasonable timeframe.

A reasonable timeframe typically translates to 2-4 repair attempts or 30 days out of service for repairs. 

If you think you have a lemon, don’t miss out on the compensation you’re owed. Even if your vehicle doesn’t qualify under the state’s lemon law, we encourage you to reach out. Federal protections like the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act expand on state protections, allowing us to help consumers with complicated cases to secure relief.

Does the Lemon Law Apply to Used Vehicles?

The lemon law in Corpus Christi, Texas applies to used vehicles in certain situations. However, the defect must be covered by the original manufacturer’s warranty to be eligible under the state’s lemon law.

As long as the first failed repair attempt occurred under warranty, you may qualify for compensation. This holds true even if the warranty has since expired. Filing a claim for a used vehicle can be more complex, but our lawyers make the process easy. During your free case review, we’ll explain your eligibility and clearly outline your options.
