ALL STATES HAVE LAWS ON THE BOOKS TO PROTECT "SECURED LENDERS". GENERALY MOST PEOPLE SURRENDER THE VEHICLE BEFORE "LEGAL" ACTION IS REQUIRED. IF YOUR LENDER IS MAKEING THE THREAT OF LEGAL ACTION, YOU BETTER BELIEVE THEY HAVE THE LAWYERS AND MONEY TO BACK THE THREAT. HERE IN Texas IT FALLS UNDER PENAL CODE 32.33 "HINDERING SECURED CREDITORS". ITS RARE THAT SOMEONE GOES TO JAIL UNDER THIS STATUE, USEUALLY THEY ARE FOUND IN CONTEMPT OF COURT (AFTER A WRIT OF SEQUESTRATION HAS BEEN SERVED) AND HELD UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS SECURED BY THE LIEN HOLDER.

No. Not if the circumstances are as simple as stated. Repossession is a civil law procedure, not involving criminal law -UNLESS- the vehicle HAD already been re-possessed and you went and took it back from the repossession impound lot, or the repossession agent or the bank. If it had already been taken and impounded then, yes, you could be charged with auto theft.
