One of the biggest questions consumers ask is:

“How much money can I get under the Texas Lemon Law?”

The answer depends on several factors—but understanding the basics can help you estimate your claim’s value.

What Is a Buyback?

A buyback means the manufacturer:

‘Takes back your defective vehicle

-Refunds your money

This is the most common Lemon Law outcome.

What’s Included in a Refund?

You may recover:

-Purchase price

-Sales tax

-Registration fees

-Finance charges

-The Mileage Deduction

Texas allows a deduction for use.

This is based on:

Miles driven before first repair

Example

If:

Car costs $40,000

You drove 5,000 miles

You may receive:

Refund minus usage deduction

Replacement Option

Instead of cash, you may get:

A new comparable vehicle

Cash Settlements

Sometimes:

Factors That Affect Value

Your case value depends on:
