I believe that by Law, he can hold your vehicle for payment. Maybe Texas is a little further tout in the woods, than here in Kansas, but he has the control of your vehicle. You would have to fight it out in court. Did you have a written agreement on what he was to do and what it would cost. Then if he did not complete the desired agreement, you have a recourse to take.

It is imperative that you get to know your body guy first and deal with him openly, because for the most part, He CAN screw you in a heartbeat. I am happy to say that I know a couple of body shops and ga there a lot to keep up on their capabilities and stay in the "Know".
