Houston buys trucks, and our case files prove it. Since January 2025 our firm has resolved 91 lemon law and vehicle warranty claims for drivers with Houston-area 713, 281, 832, and 346 phone numbers — more than any other Texas city we serve — and Chevrolet leads that group with 15 wins, the Silverado alone accounting for 8.† If a nearly new truck or SUV bought along the Katy or Southwest Freeway keeps returning to the service bay for the same defect, the Texas Lemon Law can put the manufacturer on the hook for a buyback, and our Texas-licensed attorney handles those claims from the firm’s Houston office. A free case review takes one call: (888) 415-0610.
What our Houston case files show
Behind Chevrolet come Jeep and Dodge (8 each), Ford (7), Toyota and GMC (6 each), with Mercedes-Benz GLE, Hyundai Santa Fe, and Ram 2500 among the resolved models.† Among Houston wins where our intake logged a repair count, the median was 3 shop visits before the claim resolved.† Every figure traces to our case-management records.
Houston dealerships whose repair orders build a claim
Houston’s franchised dealers line the Loop and the freeways. A warranty repair order from any authorized store counts toward the Texas presumption:
- Mike Calvert Toyota — 2333 South Loop West (Toyota)
- Mac Haik Ford — 10333 Katy Freeway (Ford)
- Gilchrist Chevrolet — 7000 Southwest Freeway (Chevrolet)
- Helfman Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram — 7720 Katy Freeway (Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep, Ram)
- Gillman Honda Houston — 10595 W Sam Houston Pkwy S (Honda)
- Group 1 Hyundai Southwest Houston — 10301 Southwest Freeway (Hyundai)
Bought or serviced at a dealer in Katy, Sugar Land, or Humble? Those visits stack onto the same claim — the defect history follows the VIN, not the storefront.

How a Houston lemon law claim is decided
The Texas Lemon Law (Tex. Occ. Code §§ 2301.601–2301.613) presumes a vehicle is a lemon once the same defect survives four repair attempts — or two if it is a serious safety hazard — or once the vehicle is out of service 30 or more cumulative days, all within 24 months or 24,000 miles. What sets Texas apart is the forum: you file a complaint with the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (a $35 fee, after written certified-mail notice to the manufacturer) and the case is decided by a TxDMV hearings examiner, not a Harris judge. Both the tests and that TxDMV process are laid out on our Texas lemon law page.

Houston lemon law questions, answered
Do repeat visits to the same Houston dealer count as separate repair attempts?
Yes. Four documented visits to Mac Haik Ford or Gilchrist Chevrolet for the same defect count as four attempts under Texas law, exactly as visits to four different dealers would. Keep every repair order.
How does Texas calculate the use deduction on a buyback?
Texas repurchases the vehicle at its purchase price plus certain fees, minus a reasonable allowance for the miles you drove before the first repair. There is no fixed statutory formula — the Texas DMV sets the figure case by case, so early mileage (Houston’s average commute runs about 27 minutes each way) matters.
Do I have to file a lawsuit?
No. Texas lemon law claims are decided by the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles at an administrative hearing, not in court. We prepare and present that complaint for you from our Houston office.
My Silverado keeps going back for the same problem — do you handle those?
Constantly. Chevrolet is the most common make among our Houston-area wins — 15 of 91 since January 2025 — and the Silverado alone accounts for 8.†
