Texas Lemon Law FAQs
YOUR MOST FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
The Texas Lemon Law covers new cars, trucks, SUVs, vans, motorcycles, motor homes, and all-terrain vehicles (ATVs). Used vehicles are also covered if the defect started and was reported while under the manufacturer’s original warranty.
A vehicle is considered a lemon if it has a substantial defect that impairs its use, market value, or creates a serious safety hazard, and the manufacturer has been given a reasonable number of attempts to repair the defect.
The Texas Lemon Law specifies three tests to determine a reasonable number of repair attempts: the four-times test, the serious safety-hazard test, and the 30-day test.
The four-times test requires four repair attempts for the same defect within the first 24 months or 24,000 miles. If the defect persists after these attempts, the vehicle may qualify as a lemon.
The serious safety-hazard test applies if the defect creates a serious safety hazard and has been presented for repairs two or more times. If the defect persists, the vehicle may qualify as a lemon.
The 30-day test applies if the vehicle is out of service for repairs for 30 or more cumulative days within the first 24 months or 24,000 miles. If the defect persists, the vehicle may qualify as a lemon.
To file a Lemon Law claim in Texas, notify the manufacturer of the defect in writing within the warranty term, document all repair attempts, and file a complaint with the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV). The TxDMV will review your complaint and may offer mediation or schedule a hearing.
