    Default Re: Repossession in California

    Q: Is it a criminal offense in Texas to knowingly hide a car from repossession?

    A: Yes.


    ...There is also a criminal statute, Hindering Secured Creditors, Sec 32.33 of the Texas Penal Code, which makes it a crime to conceal, remove, or harm, etc. property on which there's a lien with the intent to hinder enforcement of the lien. I don't get reports that this law is used that much, but it's certainly on the books, so if you're in default and a lienholder makes demand on you for return of the collateral, it's another reason to see a lawyer right away....
