Texas Lemon Laws for New and Used Cars
In some states, Lemon Law protections apply only to drivers who have purchased new cars; in Texas, however, used cars are covered under the Lemon Law as long as they are still under the manufacturer's original warranty or the problem started when the vehicle was still under warranty.Unfortunately, used cars that are covered by an extended service contract are not eligible for Lemon Law protection. Demonstrator vehicles are considered new cars for the purpose of the Texas lemon law.
When considering whether or not you should file a Lemon Law claim, remember that a vehicle must have a serious defect that has been unable to be repaired in order to be considered a lemon car. The defect must be something that an experienced auto repair mechanic would say substantially impairs use or market value, possibly creating a safety hazard.
Hiring a Lemon Law Lawyer
You do not need a Lemon Law attorney to file a claim under the Texas Lemon Law, but professional legal advice can be very helpful in dealing with the resolution of your complaint.Your Lemon Law lawyer can explain your legal rights and make sure all of the appropriate paperwork gets completed in a timely manner. And, if your complaint reaches the point where a hearing will is conducted by the State Office of Administrative Hearings (SOAH), your Lemon Law attorney can assist you in preparing your testimony.
