FAQ
A repossession affidavit is a legal statement filed with the Department of Motor Vehicles when you repossess a car from a customer. This document provides details about the repossession such as why and how the vehicle was repossessed. It also informs government authorities that the vehicle has been repossessed.
Texas repo laws are fairly simple. A creditor can file a lawsuit seeking an order to begin the car repossession process. However, automobile repossession laws in Texas allow creditors with valid liens on vehicles to use “self-help” methods when a borrower is behind on loan payments.
Your creditor can try to repossess the vehicle another time or can ask a court for an order to get the vehicle. But you can't get physical with the person trying to repossess your car or interfere with the repossessor's own vehicle or equipment.
