Denton Lemon Law

Denton Lemon Law Basics

The law that applies in Denton is Texas's lemon law, Tex. Occ. Code §2301.601 to §2301.613, and it covers new motor vehicles purchased or leased in Texas for personal, family, or household use; Texas also covers towable recreational vehicles. You may have a claim if your repair orders reach one of the repair limits in the box above while the defect is still there and you are inside the deadline. The statute text, the filing deadlines and the rules on used cars are on our Texas Lemon Law Attorneys page.

Step by Step

How a Denton Lemon Law Claim Works

This is what happens after you call us from Denton.

1

Document Your Repairs

Keep every repair order from your Denton dealership, even the short ones. Under Texas's lemon law, those papers are the written proof of each repair attempt.

2

Free Case Evaluation

We read your repair history against the Texas statute and tell you whether the car qualifies. The review costs nothing, and there are no attorney's fees unless we recover for you.

3

We File the Claim

We write and send the paperwork, including the written notice of the defect to the manufacturer, converter, or distributor that Texas law requires. We deal with the manufacturer for you.

4

You Get Compensated

A successful case usually ends with a refund, a replacement vehicle or a cash settlement. There are no attorney's fees unless we recover for you.

Is Your Denton Car a Lemon? Texas's 3-Step Test

1

Does the Defect Substantially Impair Use, Value, or Safety?

Under Texas law, the defect has to substantially impair the vehicle's use, value, or safety. These defects came up in one of Easy Lemon's own Texas cases:

  • ⚠️2024 Cadillac Lyriq: Recurring blank display/IPC screen
  • ⚠️2024 Cadillac Lyriq: Autonomous emergency braking in rain
  • ⚠️2024 Cadillac Lyriq: A/C compressor bracket twisted
  • ⚠️2024 Cadillac Lyriq: ABS warning and battery discharge
2

Have You Met the Repair Attempt Threshold?

In Texas the test is 4 repair attempts for the same defect (2 for serious safety defects) or 30 cumulative days out of service, as long as the claim is brought within the deadline in step 3. For a defect that could cause serious bodily injury or death, 2 repair attempts are enough. Count the visits on your repair orders to see where you stand.

3

Did It Happen Within the Rights Period?

In Texas, the claim must be started within 6 months after the earliest of the express warranty expiring, 24 months, or 24,000 miles from original delivery. We check that deadline against the delivery date on your contract and the dates on your repair orders.

If you are not sure about your dates, call us. The consultation is free. 📞 (855) 435-3666

If you think you are past a deadline, call us anyway. We may still be able to help.

Denton County

Court and Venue in Denton

Denton is in Denton County. A Texas lemon law claim starts as a complaint to the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV), not as a lawsuit. For a warranty suit filed in court, district courts are the general trial courts in Texas, and the Texas Office of Court Administration lists 12 numbered district courts for Denton County. County courts at law can share that civil jurisdiction. Which court hears a particular case still depends on its facts, the warranty issues involved and the law it is brought under.

The Texas lemon law is Tex. Occ. Code §2301.601 to §2301.613. TxDMV cannot order a refund or replacement unless the manufacturer received written notice of the defect and a chance to cure it (Tex. Occ. Code §2301.606(c)). The complaint must be filed with TxDMV, which holds a hearing.

The repair test in the statute is 4 repair attempts for the same defect (or 2 for serious safety defects), or 30 cumulative days with the vehicle out of service. The statutory remedy is a replacement vehicle or a full refund, minus a reasonable offset for use.

What the Statute Says

Texas Lemon Law: The Rules That Decide a Denton Claim

Some Texas rules go beyond the repair test and the arbitration rule covered under Court and Venue above. Those other rules are here.

Notable provisions of Texas Lemon Law

Texas uses a state-administered complaint process through TxDMV, not traditional arbitration. Only 2 repair attempts are needed for serious safety hazards. Texas also covers towable recreational vehicles (RVs). The TxDMV filing fee is $35, and the other side pays it back if the consumer wins.

Your Rights Under Texas Law

What The Manufacturer Owes You

Texas's statute lists a replacement vehicle or a full refund, minus a reasonable offset for use. In practice, a qualifying Denton case usually ends in one of three ways, and the cards below explain each.

$

Refund

You return the car. The price comes back to you, and so do the taxes, the registration fees and the finance charges, after a reasonable use offset is taken off.

Replacement Vehicle

You trade the defective car for a comparable new one, and the manufacturer pays what the swap costs.

$

Cash Settlement

The car stays with you, and the manufacturer pays for the drop in value the defect caused. The statute does not provide for this. It comes out of negotiation.

Have Questions?

Frequently Asked Questions

The answers below are based on Texas law and on the paperwork Denton drivers usually send us.

PROCESS & TIMELINE
Most of the Texas cases we handle settle at the written-demand stage, without a lawsuit. How long that takes depends on your repair history and on the manufacturer. In Texas, the claim must be started within 6 months after the earliest of the express warranty expiring, 24 months, or 24,000 miles from original delivery.
Bring the repair orders from your Denton dealer, your purchase or lease contract and your warranty booklet. Of the three, the repair orders carry the case. Each one shows the date, the mileage and what the service department did or did not fix. If a few are missing, ask the service desk for copies.
Usually not. Most lemon law cases we handle for Denton drivers settle with the manufacturer before a lawsuit is filed. In Texas, the complaint must be filed with the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV), which holds a hearing. This is a state-administered process, not traditional arbitration. We prepare that filing for you.
ELIGIBILITY
Tex. Occ. Code §2301.601 to §2301.613 covers new motor vehicles purchased or leased in Texas for personal, family, or household use. Texas also covers towable recreational vehicles. If you bought used, send the paperwork anyway, including any written warranty that came with the car.
REMEDIES
Under Tex. Occ. Code §2301.601 to §2301.613, the remedy is a replacement vehicle or a full refund, minus a reasonable offset for use. Which one you get depends on your repair history and on what the manufacturer offers.
ATTORNEY & TRUST
No. Our offices are in Manhasset NY, Newark NJ, Miami FL and Dallas TX. We handle Texas cases by phone, email and e-signature. You upload your repair orders, your contract and your warranty booklet. We send the demand letter and handle the settlement paperwork. Nothing in Tex. Occ. Code §2301.601 to §2301.613 requires you to appear anywhere to open a claim.

What Our Clients Are Saying

Easy Lemon has handled 3,000+ lemon law cases‡, recovering over $50 million** for clients.

star star star star star
“I honestly didn't think I had a case. My Subaru's engine consumed a quart of oil every 1,000 miles. Dealer said it was 'within spec.' Did that three times. I just figured I'd live with it.
My brother-in-law, a mechanic, said 'that's not normal for a modern engine. Call someone.' So I did. I spoke to Steven Nassi at Easy Lemon.
He explained that excessive oil consumption is a known defect in certain Subaru engines. He'd handled similar cases. He said, 'They tell you it's normal because they don't want to replace the short block.' He already knew the internal service bulletins.
His team filed the claim. Subaru settled with a cash payment that covered my oil expenses and then some. I was genuinely surprised it worked.
Why different? Steven saw a pattern I didn't know existed. They don't just take cases; they know manufacturer secrets.”

“My Ram 2500's check engine light came on for the same evap code four times in six months. Dealer kept replacing gas caps, sensors, the whole runaround. Light would stay off for a week then pop back on. I was so tired of seeing that orange glow on my dash every morning. Called Easy Lemon and they took my service records and ran with it. Four months later, Ram sent a settlement check. No more anxiety every time I start the truck.”
