Your options for backing out of a car purchase depend entirely on the specifics of your contract and any relevant circumstances. Factors that might influence your ability to cancel or return the vehicle include:
* The dealership's return policy: Some dealerships might offer a limited return policy as a goodwill gesture, but this is not legally mandated. This should be clarified *before* signing any paperwork.
* Financing: If you financed the car, the lender might have specific rules about returning the vehicle, often involving penalties.
* Breach of contract: If the dealer made false claims about the car's condition or features, you might have grounds to cancel the contract under Texas's Deceptive Trade Practices Act (DTPA). However, this requires proving the dealer engaged in deceptive or misleading practices.
* "Cooling-off" period: Texas doesn't have a general "cooling-off" period for car purchases like some states have for certain types of contracts.
In short, relying on a "remorse law" to return a new car in Texas won't work. Careful consideration *before* signing the purchase agreement is crucial.
