The Texas Lemon Law helps consumers who have purchased or leased a vehicle with a defect that substantially impairs the vehicle’s use or market value, or creates a serious safety hazard. Defects must be covered by the original manufacturer’s warranty and must persist after a reasonable number of repair attempts (or extended time waiting on repairs). If your vehicle qualifies, you’ll be entitled to a refund or a replacement vehicle.
If you qualify, you could be entitled to a refund, replacement vehicle, and/or other compensation.
The manufacturer may also be required to reimburse you for out-of-pocket expenses related to repairs.
We never charge a retainer, and we don’t get paid a fee unless we win or settle your case.
All you have to do is call; our lawyers take care of the rest!
To qualify for compensation under the Texas Lemon Law, your vehicle must have a defect that substantially impairs its use or market value, or creates a serious safety hazard. Additionally, this defect must be covered by the manufacturer’s original warranty. This defect must persist after you’ve provided the auto manufacturer with a reasonable number of attempts to repair it.
Typically, the law defines “a reasonable number of repair attempts” as two to four, depending on the severity of the defect. Additionally, if the vehicle is out of service for repairs for a total of 30 or more business days, it’s presumed to be a lemon.

Under the Texas Lemon Law, your vehicle’s defect must have surfaced within 24 months or 24,000 miles of the original date of delivery. After this timeframe ends, you typically have six months to file a claim. That said, we can still file cases under the Federal Lemon Law after this window closes. However, the sooner you act, the greater your chance of a successful recovery. If you purchased or leased a vehicle that’s not working as it should, we recommend acting as soon as possible.

Turning Your Lemon into Lemonade
If your vehicle is ruled a lemon, you typically get to choose between a refund or replacement vehicle.
If you prevail in a lemon law case in Texas, you may request the manufacturer reimburse you for incidental costs such as repair fees, rental car costs, and towing bills, in addition to a refund or replacement vehicle.
Lemon settlements in Texas are influenced by several factors like the car’s make, model, age, purchase price, warranty agreement, and mileage. Although there is no fixed rate of compensation, our lawyers are always prepared to take your case as far as necessary to secure the compensation you’re owed.
No lemon law case has a preset dollar value. We do not advertise unrealistic numbers to attract attention. Instead, we evaluate cases based on facts, real documentation, and the applicable law. With over 60,000 cases handled nationwide and more than 2,000 in Texas alone, our experience speaks for itself.
We’ve helped over 60,000 people nationwide hold automobile manufacturers responsible for the lemons they sold.

We offer free case reviews and only collect attorney’s fees when we prevail.
We’re not a referral site—we clearly list our attorneys’ bios and real client stories on our site.
During your free case review, we’ll discuss your vehicle, the defect in question, and any repair attempts you’ve made. We’ll also cover the claim process in-depth and answer any questions you have.
If your case qualifies, we’ll get to work building your case and taking the steps necessary to prepare for a claim. This typically starts with us notifying the auto manufacturer in writing about the defect.

In the rare case you’re unsatisfied with the outcome of the hearing, our attorneys are always prepared to fight for what you’re owed in a Court of Law.

Frequently Asked Questions
A car may qualify if it has a defect covered by warranty that substantially impairs the vehicle’s use, value, or safety, and the manufacturer or dealer doesn’t fix it after a reasonable number of tries (or it’s been out of service for 30+ days).
Generally, you must show that the defect is covered by warranty, repair attempts were made within the eligibility period, and you gave the manufacturer/dealer a reasonable chance to repair the issue. Our attorneys handle all of these steps for you.
We typically start by notifying the manufacturer and requesting a final repair attempt. If it’s not resolved, we file a complaint with the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV) for a hearing. If you prevail, the remedy will typically be a refund or replacement vehicle.
It generally applies to problems that occur within the first 24 months or 24,000 miles (whichever comes first). There are also filing deadlines, so it’s important to reach out to a lemon law attorney as soon as possible.
