Wylie Lemon Law

Texas Lemon Law claims are not filed in Collin County court. Wylie residents file with the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV) Lemon Law Section in Austin, online or by mail, with a $35 filing fee that is refundable if you prevail. A TxDMV hearings examiner mediates and, if necessary, holds an administrative hearing by teleconference. Judicial review of a final TxDMV order is available in a Collin County district court (199th, 219th, 296th, 366th, 401st, 416th, 417th, 429th, 468th, or 469th Judicial District Court in McKinney).

Hail damage itself is a property-damage insurance claim, not a lemon law claim. But Wylie sits in one of the most hail-prone corridors in North Texas, and hail repair frequently disturbs windshield-mounted ADAS cameras, forward radar, and lane-keep sensors. If recalibration after hail repair triggers persistent fault codes, lane-keep dropouts, or false collision warnings that the dealer cannot permanently fix, those recurring warranty defects can support a Texas Lemon Law claim. Keep every repair order and recalibration invoice.

North Texas summers regularly exceed 100 F for weeks, forcing A/C compressors and blend-door actuators to run near capacity for months. This dramatically accelerates wear and surfaces manufacturing defects well within the 24-month / 24,000-mile warranty window. If your Wylie vehicle has been back to the dealer four or more times for the same A/C defect — or 30 cumulative days out of service for warranty repairs — you may meet the Texas Lemon Law repair-attempt thresholds. Document each visit with a written repair order.

Six months following the earliest of: (1) expiration of the manufacturer's express warranty, (2) 24 months from delivery, or (3) the odometer reaching 24,000 miles. For Wylie's commuter base — many of whom drive long distances along the President George Bush Turnpike and SH-78 — the 24,000-mile threshold may arrive before the 24-month mark. Magnuson-Moss (four years) and Texas DTPA (two years) court claims remain available if you miss the TxDMV window.

Not under the Texas Lemon Law itself, which is administered exclusively by TxDMV. However, you can file separately in Collin County district court in McKinney under the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act or the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act. These statutes allow treble damages and attorneys' fees that TxDMV cannot award. Many Wylie consumers pursue both tracks in parallel: a TxDMV repurchase complaint and a Collin County district court damages action.

Most franchised dealers serving Wylie sit along the Sam Rayburn Tollway (SH 121) in Frisco and McKinney to the north, and along U.S. 75 (Central Expressway) running south through Plano and Richardson. Specialty and luxury brands cluster in Plano and Frisco. Texas Lemon Law counts repair attempts at any authorized dealer of the same brand, so visits to different stores still aggregate toward the four-attempt or 30-day thresholds.

Yes. Texas Lemon Law covers leased vehicles to the same extent as purchased vehicles. If TxDMV orders a repurchase, the agency will terminate the lease and apportion the refund — including the reasonable allowance for use — between you, the lessor, and any lienholder. The refund covers your down payment, monthly payments made, sales tax, title, and registration, reduced by a use allowance based on mileage at the first repair attempt. The same six-month TxDMV filing deadline applies.
