State Law Note: Texas does not cap interest rates on motor vehicle installment sales contracts. The Texas Finance Code (Chapter 348) governs retail installment sales and requires dealers to disclose the APR, total amount financed, and total of payments. Texas also has a strong consumer protection law: if a dealer repossesses your vehicle, they must notify you within 24 hours and give you the right to redeem it before selling.
