Houston Lemon Law Attorneys Protecting Drivers with Defective Vehicles

The Houston Lemon Law gives buyers and lessees of new vehicles the right to seek relief when their cars fail to meet quality or performance standards. If your car keeps returning to the shop for the same issue, you may be entitled to:

• A replacement vehicle of similar value
• A full refund, including taxes, title, and registration
• A financial settlement for diminished value or ongoing inconvenience
• Payment of attorney’s fees by the manufacturer if your claim succeeds

You pay nothing out of pocket — legal fees are covered by the manufacturer.

Houston Lemon Law applies to:

• New and leased vehicles purchased or registered in Texas
• Cars, trucks, SUVs, and vans for personal or household use
• Claims filed within 24 months or 24,000 miles, whichever comes first
• Vehicles that have undergone 4 or more repair attempts or spent 30+ days in the repair shop
• Certain small business or fleet vehicles that meet Texas Lemon Law guidelines

Not Covered: Used “as-is” vehicles, off-road vehicles, or those heavily altered after purchase.

You may qualify if:

• The defect affects your vehicle’s use, safety, or market value
• The manufacturer or dealer made 4 or more unsuccessful repairs for the same problem
• The vehicle was out of service for 30 or more cumulative days
• The issue appeared within the warranty period or the first 24 months / 24,000 miles

Our Houston Lemon Law team will review your repair history and determine eligibility — free of charge.

Frequent defects that may qualify include:

• Engine failure, stalling, or overheating
• Transmission shifting problems or complete failure
• Steering or braking system issues
• Electrical malfunctions or dashboard warning light errors
• Faulty air conditioning or heating systems
• Persistent oil, coolant, or fluid leaks

If your vehicle keeps having these issues despite repeated repairs, it may qualify as a “lemon” under Texas law.

While Texas Lemon Law mainly covers new vehicles, used cars may still qualify under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act or dealer warranties if:

• The vehicle was sold with a written warranty or service agreement
• The defect occurred during the warranty period
• The dealer or manufacturer failed to repair the issue after reasonable attempts
