No. The contract is bound by the law that existed and was known to the parties at the time the contract was drawn up and signed.

A family relationship does not change contract law. If your contract allows for repossession when the buyer is in default, and your buyer is in default, then yes.

In Texas is their a law that gives new car buyer buyers remorse?

In the state of Texas: "The so-called "buyer's remorse" law may be the biggest myth in the law. When you sign a contract to buy a car, you are bound. Unless the seller has misled or deceived you into signing, you cannot just change your mind. Don't ever sign anything unless you are sure that you want to close the deal." The Texas "buyers remorse" law refers to door to door salemen. The time limit to change your mind on a new car is "ten seconds before you sign the contract."
