I am extremely happy with the service that was provided with my car being a lemon. Tim and his team worked tirelessly to get me a very favorable outcome. Despite the manufacturer being challenging to work with, Tim and his team made everything easy and were great at communicating every step of the way. I highly recommend them.

Your vehicle may qualify under Texas lemon law if it has a significant defect that can’t be fixed despite reasonable repair attempts during the manufacturer’s warranty period. Texas law provides specific tests to determine whether a vehicle qualifies.
Your case needs to meet at least one of these three tests:
| Texas Lemon Law Test | What It Means | Your Vehicle Qualifies If |
|---|---|---|
| Four Repair Attempts | The same problem keeps coming back | The manufacturer has tried to fix the same issue 4 or more times within 24 months or 24,000 miles |
| Two Attempts for Safety Issues | A defect that substantially impairs the vehicle’s use or safety and creates a serious safety hazard | The problem has been repaired at least twice, still exists, and creates a serious safety risk (like brake failure or steering loss) |
| 30-Days Out of Service | Your vehicle has been in the shop too long | The vehicle has been unusable for 30 total days or more (not necessarily consecutive) during the warranty period |
If your situation meets any of these criteria, you likely have a strong case. A Texas lemon law attorney in Houston can review your specific circumstances and determine your best path forward.
Beyond meeting one of the three main tests, your vehicle must also satisfy these basic requirements to qualify:
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Covered Vehicles | New or leased cars, trucks, SUVs, and motorcycles qualify. Some used vehicles may also qualify if they’re still covered under the original manufacturer’s warranty. |
| Warranty Coverage | The defect must appear and be reported to the dealer or manufacturer while your vehicle is still under warranty. |
| Substantial Defect | The problem must significantly affect your vehicle’s safety, use, or value, not just minor inconveniences. |
| Reasonable Repair Opportunity | You must give the manufacturer a fair chance to fix the problem before filing a claim. |
Engine or transmission failure
Brake or steering problems
Electrical system defects
Repeated stalling or loss of power
Safety system failures (airbags, sensors)
Texas lemon law has specific requirements that can be stricter than other states, and most claims are handled through the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV), which means navigating your claim requires careful attention to detail.
The good news is that even if your vehicle doesn’t meet one test, it may still qualify under another. Your repair history, timing, and documentation all play a role in determining eligibility. A Texas lemon law attorney can review your repair records, identify which test applies to your situation, and build the strongest possible case for your claim.
