Ask what an Austin lemon looks like and our case files answer with a pickup: the Chevrolet Silverado is the single most common vehicle among the Austin-area claims we’ve resolved, 6 of 27 since January 2025, with the Ram 2500 close behind.† Austin buys both up and down Research Boulevard, and any nearly new truck or SUV that keeps returning for the same unfixed defect can qualify under the Texas Lemon Law. Among Austin wins where our intake logged a repair count, the median was 4 shop visits — the highest of any Texas city we track.† If your truck keeps going back, start with a free review: (888) 415-0610.

Who handles your Texas case
Venue and process for Austin claims
Texas is one of the states that runs its lemon law through a government agency: the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles hears the case before a state examiner, not a judge (Tex. Occ. Code §§ 2301.601–2301.613). A vehicle qualifies after four repairs of the same defect, two for a serious safety hazard, or 30 cumulative days out of service within 24 months or 24,000 miles — and Austin is doubly relevant here, because judicial review of a TxDMV order is heard in Travis County. Our Texas lemon law page walks through both stages.
Austin dealerships where repair attempts add up
Austin clusters its franchised dealers along Research Boulevard and South I-35. A warranty repair order from any of them counts toward the Texas presumption:
- Toyota of North Austin — 8400 Research Blvd (Toyota)
- Covert Ford — 11514 Research Blvd (Ford)
- First Texas Honda — 3400 Steck Ave (Honda)
- Group 1 Ford of South Austin — 5000 South IH-35 (Ford)
- Covert Buick GMC Austin — 11750 Research Blvd (Buick, GMC)
- Covert Cadillac — 11750 Research Blvd (Cadillac)

Austin lemon law FAQ
Which vehicles do you see most in Austin lemon law claims?
Trucks lead — the Chevrolet Silverado is the single most common vehicle among our Austin-area wins, 6 of 27, with the Ram 2500 close behind.† Research Boulevard sells plenty of both, and any of them can qualify if the same defect goes unfixed.
Where does judicial review of a Texas lemon law order happen?
In Travis County — which makes Austin unusual. If either side appeals the TxDMV hearing examiner’s decision, that review is heard here, though most claims resolve at the agency stage.
Do repeat trips to Covert Ford count as separate attempts?
Yes. Texas counts each documented repair of the same defect as a separate attempt, whether all four were at Covert Ford or spread across the Research Boulevard dealers.
Is there an Austin office to visit?
No, and none is needed. Our Texas-licensed attorney represents Austin and Travis County drivers from the Houston office by phone, email, and mail.
