You bought or leased what was supposed to be a reliable vehicle — but instead, it’s spent more time in the shop than on the road. If your car has recurring defects that can’t be fixed, you may be driving a lemon. Under Texas law, you have rights — including a refund, replacement, or reimbursement. At The Perazzo Law Firm, we fight for Dallas drivers to enforce those rights. We provide free consultations, bilingual support, and we don’t get paid unless we win your case.

What the Texas Lemon Law Covers
Texas’s Lemon Law is governed by Texas Occupations Code, Chapter 2301, and administered via the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV). It protects consumers who purchase or lease new vehicles in Texas that suffer from defects covered under warranty and cannot be repaired after a reasonable number of attempts. Once your vehicle meets eligibility, the manufacturer must repurchase, replace, or repair the vehicle.
The law generally applies to new cars, light trucks, SUVs, and leased vehicles. It does not usually cover used or “as‑is” sales, but there may be other legal options under warranty or consumer protection statutes.
Does Your Vehicle Qualify as a Lemon in Dallas?
Your vehicle may qualify if:
- It is new (or demonstrator) and under the manufacturer’s written warranty.
- The defect arises during the warranty coverage period (often within 24 months or 24,000 miles).
- You’ve given the dealer or manufacturer repeated repair attempts for the same defect.
- The defect persists, recurs, or remains after those repair attempts.
- You issue a written “final repair request” under Texas law before pursuing a formal claim.
Texas presumes eligibility under certain tests:
- Four-Time Test: If the same defect has been unsuccessfully repaired four or more times.
- Serious Safety Hazard Test: If a defect poses a serious safety risk and two repair attempts fail.
- 30-Day Test: If the vehicle has been out of service for a cumulative 30 or more days due to defect repairs.
Remedies Available Under Texas Lemon Law
If your claim is successful, remedies may include:
- Refund: Return of the vehicle’s purchase price (minus mileage usage), plus taxes, title, and fees.
- Replacement: Equivalent new model with all features intact, adjusting for mileage.
- Repair: If defect can still be remedied permanently, further repairs may be ordered.
- Reimbursement: For towing, rental car costs, and incidental expenses.
- Attorney’s Fees & Costs: Prevailing claimants often recover legal costs under Texas law.
Steps You Should Take in Dallas If You Suspect a Lemon
- Preserve all repair orders, invoices, and service logs.
- Record defect symptoms, circumstances, and frequency with photos or video.
- Provide the defect report to your dealer and manufacturer in writing.
