The amount of damages that can be recovered will depend on the specific circumstances of the case. In general, the following damages may be available:
* The actual cost of repairing or replacing the damaged property
* The loss of use of the property during the time that it is being repaired or replaced
* Emotional distress caused by the damage to the property
In addition to actual damages, the court may also award punitive damages in cases of particularly egregious conduct. Punitive damages are designed to punish the agent and deter future misconduct.
If you believe that your RV or personal property has been damaged by a repossession agent, you should immediately file a complaint with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR). The TDLR is responsible for regulating repossession agents in the state of Texas.
You should also contact a qualified attorney to discuss your rights and options for recovering damages. An attorney can help you to assess your case, negotiate with the repossession agent or lender, and file a lawsuit if necessary.
