Texas celebrates three decades of Lemon Law relief for new car buyers Puzzle Choice

Solution

AUSTIN – Don’t let the stress of having problems with a new vehicle put the squeeze on you. Today the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV) is celebrating the 30-year anniversary of the state’s Lemon Law. To mark the occasion, Governor Rick Perry has proclaimed today “Texas Lemon Law Day.”

The TxDMV provides a wealth of consumer protection resources to assist Texans before they even begin the process of buying a vehicle. Once the purchase is complete, if you have repeated problems getting the vehicle to operate the way it should, the TxDMV may be able to provide “Lemon-Aid.”

Through this law, consumers buying or leasing defective new vehicles have filed more than 16,000 complaints and received more than $113 million in relief.

The first step for consumers is to file a Lemon Law complaint form with a $35 fee and provide notice of the complaint to the manufacturer with a final opportunity to fix the problem.

“Buying a new car or truck is a big decision for many families,” said TxDMV Executive Director Whitney Brewster. “If your new vehicle has unresolved problems, we’re here to help. In many cases, the TxDMV can work directly with the consumer and manufacturer to reach an amicable resolution.”

Lemon Law program staff will review the Web Sudoku - Billions of Free Sudoku Puzzles to Play Online complaint and attempt to resolve it through mediation between both parties. If unresolved, the complaint will be referred for a hearing before an administrative law judge at the State Office of Administrative Hearings (SOAH). (Note: Beginning in January 2014, the hearing process will transfer from SOAH to the TxDMV.) Resolution options include repurchase, repair or refund depending on the © Web Sudoku 2013 - www.websudoku.com Evil Puzzle 822,284,906 Seriously? facts of the case.

Texas was one of the first states to pass a Lemon Law to assist buyers and manufacturers with new vehicle warranty performance. “The Lemon Law is a true case where we took lemons and turned them into lemonade,” said former Senator R.E. ‘Buster’ Brown who authored the bill during the 68th Texas Legislature in 1983. “As a state senator, I heard about so many cases where an individual purchased a vehicle and spent years trying to get an incurable flaw fixed. This law provides real relief for the innocent car owner.”

The Texas Lemon Law applies to new or leased cars, trucks, motorcycles, motor homes and 1 of 1 titled/registered travel trailers. Used vehicles may be covered under laws related to warranty performance if they are still covered by the manufacturer’s original warranty. The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV) is charged with overseeing the state’s motor vehicle services that provide consumer protection, assist motor vehicle-related businesses and raise revenue for the state. For every $1 it spends, the TxDMV returns $10 to build and maintain highways, roads and bridges and provide needed services to Texans. Each year the agency registers more than 23 million vehicles; regulates more than 23,000 vehicle dealers; credentials buses and big trucks for intrastate and interstate 1 of 1 commerce; and awards grants to law enforcement agencies to reduce vehicle burglaries and thefts.

Origin in the oil patch Kenneth Stanley “Bud” Adams, Jr., was born in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, on January 3, 1923. His father, “Boots” Adams, and his mother, Blanch Keeler, were members of the Cherokee Nation. Bud’s two great-grandmothers were full-bloodied Cherokees who married European-American men: Nelson Carr and George Keeler. Both Carr and Keeler were involved with the early discovery of oil in Oklahoma. It was Keeler who drilled the first commercial oil well in Oklahoma. In 1939, Boots Adams succeeded Phillips Petroleum Company’s founder, Frank Phillips. At the age of 23, Bud chose Houston, Texas, to start his first company. By 1959, the success of the ADA Oil Company of Houston would provide him with funding he needed to create a team in the other league.

There is no doubt that the firing of wildly popular Head Coach, Bum Phillips, at the end of the 1980 season, was the beginning of the end for the Oilers in Houston. All Phillips had done was win 36 games from 1978-1980 along with claiming a playoff spot all three years. Adams’ knee-jerk firing of Phillips turned the fan base away. “Love Ya Blue,” was no more. That was Adams in a nutshell; never mind that it took the team another eight years to win again consistently. In 1987, Adams complained about the Astrodome seating and 10,000 seats were added by Harris County, while spending 67 million dollars on renovation. The county footed the bill by increased property taxes and doubling hotel taxes. The floor also received new Astroturf and 65 luxury boxes. Part of the new look required removing the huge fan-friendly scoreboard, but it wasn’t enough for Adams. Even though he had promised to keep the team in Houston for at least ten years if the renovations were done, he was still not happy. He threatened to move the team to Jacksonville, Florida.

In 1959, “The Foolish Club” was created and Oilers no more consisted of the eight original members of the Adams moved the Oilers to Tennessee in 1997, American Football league (AFL).

To the Astrodome Bud moved his Oilers into the Astrodome in 1968. The Dome had been the home of the Houston Astros since 1965. The advantages were many. The Astrodome was hailed as the “Eighth Wonder of the World,” for its design and construction. It became the first completely enclosed and air conditioned venue

Three Chords and the Truth By Ronnie Narmour ronnienarmour@gmail.com

Road trip to Austin… On Friday, I got a wild hair and decided to blow this pop stand for the weekend and struck out for Austin. I hadn’t seen my family in a while and was more than ready to hear some fresh music. To be honest, Island Fever had claimed me. I feel like I’ve been chasing my tail lately. My first stop was to head out to Volente on Lake Travis and see my old pal, Preacher Keen. Preacher, a fine blues musician in his own right, has been a close bud for many years. He admitted that he hadn’t been into Austin in a while and was anxious to see some music himself. So, after consulting the Austin Chronicle to get a game plan, we hit the road running.

First stop: Steve James at the Whip In… Our first stop was at the Whip In off of Oltorf and I-35. It’s an old neighborhood grocery that morphed into a bar and live music venue since 1986. An old friend of mine who I hadn’t seen in ages, Steve James, was scheduled to play and I don’t often get a chance to see that. James is one of those genius kind of guys who can sit and recite volume upon volume of historical Blues master, Steve data on any number of James, played the topics: blues, Texas, Whip In in Austin world history, music last Friday night. in general, politics, the list goes on and on. He’s also one of the finest finger pickers alive in the world of country blues. I’ve actually traveled much of Europe and Brazil with him, and personally observed him in action, giving history lessons on the guitar as he demonstrated the techniques of Leadbelly, Blind Lemon Jefferson and Mississippi John Hurt (etc.). James is kind of a strange bird that most people might find confusing, but he’s perhaps the most dedicated blues artist in this field who is still out there keeping the genre alive. I once had the honor of attending the King Biscuit Blues Festival deep in the Delta in Helena, AR with him and got to see him perform on the same land that Robert Lockwood, Robert Johnson and Muddy Waters got their start. It was really humbling.

The Revelers, a Cajun band from Lafayette, LA, played the White Horse in Austin last Friday night. Mike Stinson at Ginny’s Little Longhorn… Our next move was to head out north to Burnet Road and check out the Mike Stinson Band at Ginny’s Little Longhorn Saloon. Ginny’s is an Austin honky-tonk icon, and a little (and I do mean little) windowless, barn shaped dancehall which is home to Chicken (droppings) Bingo and Austin’s country music hero, Dale Watson, who has played the joint since 1993. I’d been hearing a buzz about Mike Stinson for a while and was anxious to hear him. We walked in to a

Mike Stinson played Ginny’s Little Longhorn Saloon in Austin last Friday night. PACKED house and the band was a blazing like a two headed snake. The front door opens up to the dance floor and there wasn’t any chance of squeezing through to the bar, so we found the back door and eased in from the rear. To say the scene was rowdy is like calling a hurricane a little windy. It had been a long evening so we opted out on the early side and called it a night.

Lunch with Miss Lavelle White… On Saturday, we hooked up for lunch with another old friend, Miss Lavelle White, one of the finest soul singers ever to grace a stage. I used to manage Lavelle’s career back in the 90’s when I had my talent agency, RNA Booking. I was the in-house agency for the Preacher Antone’s Records label for Keen and Miss a number of years. Lavelle Lavelle White started out in Houston in in Austin last the 50’s and 60’s with Don weekend.

Nashville star Richard Leigh will play the Island Presbyterian Church this Saturday.

Then a Cajun band at the White Horse… After the Whip In we headed over the White Horse on the east side of I-35 at 11th Street. This area of town was pretty seedy when I used to live in Austin, but has since been cleaned up some and is now a vibrant area full of live music venues and restaurants. It reminded me of the early days of Sixth Street. I really like the White Horse, they seem to have their heart in the right place. There was a young Cajun band from Lafayette, The Revelers, playing that night. They were singing in French and had all the traditional instruments on stage… fiddles, accordions and saxophone etc. I absolutely adore Cajun and zydeco music and this band was on fire. It was perfect for the venue and the dance floor stayed packed the whole time we were there. This was a special treat for me.

Thornton, etc.) She wrote the Bobby Bland hit, Lead Me On. Lavelle spent a large part of the 70’s as the house singer at the storied Kinston Mines in Chicago and frequently played with such blues greats at Luther Allison, James Cotton and Buddy Guy. I had a fair amount of success with Miss Sixth Street in Lavelle and recorded Austin is still the several CD’s with her, three ring circus toured the world and got it’s always been. her booked on Austin City Limits and into the Lincoln Center. She was inducted into the Austin Music Hall of Fame in 1995. It was great to see the old gal, who is looking healthy and fit. She tells me she has been playing a few bit parts in some movies being made around Austin and still plays a few gigs around town. Her annual Christmas show at the Saxon Pub is historical.

The agenda for Saturday night consisted of first watching the Longhorn game and then going to Sixth Street. I wanted to hit Maggie Maes and see my friends, Austin Heat play. I worked as a bartender on Sixth Street for about 8 years and watched the scene grow from its infancy. I started at Antone’s in 1976 and worked on the street until 1983 when I moved to San Antonio. I’ve been back to party on Sixth many times since then and can attest, it’s still wild and crazy. There are street singers, clowns and patriots, UT students, eastside hard cores, super heroes, freaks and people of every description on every inch of the street from Congress Avenue to I-35. It is definitely a huge component in keeping Austin weird.

Nashville hit songwriter and recording artist, Richard Leigh will be playing a show at the Island Presbyterian Church on Padre Island. I’ve seen Leigh perform several times and can attest that he’s the real deal. He’s written a suitcase full of number one hit songs including the Crystal Gale hit, Don’t It Make Your Brown Eyes Blue. The first time I met him, we sat down at Shorty’s for a beer and he went over to the juke box and picked out six of his songs. It was pretty impressive. His live performances are close and personal and it’s amazing how deep a well he draws his stories from… the man has been around and knows virtually everyone in Nashville. When I told him the name of my column, Three Chords and the Truth, the first thing out of Richard’s mouth was, Harland Howard… he’s the music writer I stole it from and he and Leigh were great friends.

And that’s the truth!
