Texas lemon laws are dealt with in Texas Occupation Code, Title 14, Subtitle A, Chapter 2301 (Sale or Lease of Motor Vehicles), Subchapter M (Warranties: Rights of Vehicle Owners) Section 2301.601 et seq.  A motor vehicle is defective if it does not conform to all applicable express warranties which significantly affect the use or market value of the vehicle.  The prescribed time limit for manufacturer repair is within the term of express warranties as provided in this chapter or within one year of purchase of motor vehicle or within the first twelve thousands miles of operation of the motor vehicle, whichever comes first.  The time limit is prescribed in Section 2301.605.

According to Section 2301.604, certain remedies are available to a consumer if the manufacturer fails to conform the motor vehicle to any applicable express warranty after a reasonable number of attempts.  A manufacturer who is unable to conform a motor vehicle to an applicable express warranty by repairing or correcting a defect after a reasonable number of attempts should replace the motor vehicle with a comparable motor vehicle or accept return of the vehicle from the owner and refund to the owner the full purchase price, less a reasonable allowance for owner’s use, and any other allowances or refunds payable to owner.
