Plano Lemon Law

Plano Lemon Law Basics

In Plano, as anywhere else in Texas, a lemon law claim is brought under Tex. Occ. Code §2301.601 to §2301.613. The statute covers new motor vehicles purchased or leased in Texas for personal, family, or household use (also covers towable recreational vehicles), but being covered is only the start. The car also has to reach one of the repair limits in the box above, with the defect still unrepaired and the deadline not yet passed. If it does, you may have a claim. Our Texas Lemon Law Attorneys page goes through the statute text, the filing deadlines and used cars in more detail.

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

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

Have You Met the Repair Attempt Threshold?

In Texas the test is 4 repair attempts for the same defect (or 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.

Did It Happen Within the Rights Period?

In Texas the deadline is 6 months after the earliest of the express warranty expiration or 24 months/24,000 miles from original delivery. We check it 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 are past the deadline, call us anyway. We may still be able to help.

Collin County & Denton County

Court and Venue in Plano

Parts of Plano lie in Collin County and Denton County, per the 2020 Census. 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 numbered district courts: 15 for Collin County and 12 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 full refund (minus reasonable use offset).

What the Statute Says

Texas Lemon Law: The Rules That Decide a Plano Claim

Some Texas rules sit outside the repair test, the arbitration rule and the deadline, which you can find 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 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 TX Law

What The Manufacturer Owes You

What the manufacturer owes under Texas's statute is replacement vehicle or full refund (minus reasonable use offset). Most qualifying cases from Plano under TX law end in one of the three results below.

Refund

The manufacturer takes the car back and pays you the purchase price, taxes, registration fees and finance charges, and it can subtract a reasonable use offset.

Replacement Vehicle

You get a comparable new car in place of the one with the defect, with the manufacturer covering the cost.

Cash Settlement

You keep driving the car and the manufacturer pays you for the lost value. This is a negotiated result, since the statute does not list it.

Have Questions?

Frequently Asked Questions

The answers below are based on Texas law and on the paperwork Plano 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. The Texas filing deadline is within 6 months after the earliest of the express warranty expiration or 24 months/24,000 miles from original delivery.

Bring the repair orders from your Plano 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.

ELIGIBILITY

Tex. Occ. Code §2301.601 to §2301.613 covers new motor vehicles purchased or leased in Texas for personal, family, or household use (also covers towable recreational vehicles). If you bought used, send the paperwork anyway, including any written warranty that came with the car.

We handle any warranty defect that substantially impairs the car's use, value or safety and that the dealer could not fix. The defects we see most often are engine stalling and misfires, transmission shudder or failure, electrical faults, brake and steering problems, and driver-assist systems that brake or drift on their own. Texas uses a state-administered complaint process through TxDMV (not traditional arbitration).

REMEDIES

The Texas Lemon Law has no attorney-fee provision of its own. A consumer who wins the TxDMV case gets the $35 filing fee back. We work on contingency, so you pay nothing upfront and there is no attorney's fee unless we recover for you. When a manufacturer settles or loses, we ask it to pay our fee on top of your recovery. The federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. §2310(d)) provides a fee-shifting route of its own when a written warranty is breached. Our fee agreement is one page.

ATTORNEY & TRUST

Nothing upfront, and no attorney's fee unless we recover for you. The Texas Lemon Law has no attorney-fee provision of its own. A consumer who wins the TxDMV case gets the $35 filing fee back. In most successful Texas claims, the manufacturer pays our fee. Repair orders are free from the dealer. We pay the filing costs while the case is open. To start, send us the repair orders for a free case review.

Client Testimonials

What Our Clients Are Saying

Easy Lemon has handled 1,500+ lemon law matters^‡, recovering over $30 million^** for clients.

“My Jeep Wrangler's manual transmission would pop out of reverse. Dealer kept it twice, said they couldn't replicate. Third time they replaced the shifter. Still popped out. I was backing out of my driveway and it nearly rolled into the street. Called Easy Lemon and Natalie Nassi said that's a major safety defect. She took my case and Jeep bought it back. Now I drive something that stays in gear.”

“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.”

Marisela Torres

“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.”
