Not sure of TX law, but in AZ there is a 10 day right to cure period. In other Words, a repo'd vehicle in AZ cannot be sold for 10 days after repo. In Ohio we deal with many "buy here, pay here" lots that send us orders to repossess vehicles. The way it works here is once we repo the car, the lender can't do anything with the vehicle for 20 days. If the debtor hasn't contacted the dealership (lender) after 20 days, the dealership will have the title transferred back to the dealer's name and depending on the vehicle's value they will usually re-sell it on the lot but sometimes will send it through an auction. Most people think that if their vehicle is repossessed that the only thing the lender can do with it is sell it at auction. This is not true. They own the vehicle now and can sell it however they want whether that is on their lot, auction, private sale, or they can take bids on it.
