If you get a Writ of Replevin from the court, which is expensive, then they will force whoever it is to surrender the car (I'm assuming you're talking about a car). If you are just repoing on a defaulted contract, then the police can be called to "keep the peace," but the debtor may tell you to leave and if you refuse, or "breach the peace," you can be arrested.

What are the Laws in Texas about a Police helping in a repo?
If the repossessor has a written assignment from the lienholder to repossess the vehicle for nonpayment, 9 out of 10 times, the police will allow the repossessor to take the vehicle. No, Use of a Police Officer or Police involvement in self-help repossession introduces the state into a civil matter and provides the foundation for a wrongful repossession suit against the Secured Party, the repossession agent, the police officer and the police department.The authority to use Self-Help repossession is granted in the UCC 9-609 and Comment 3 of 9-609 specifically states "This section does not authorize a Secured Party who repossesses without judicial process to utilize the assistance of a law enforcement officer."Simply put if you want to use a police office to assist in a repossession you better go to court and obtain a Writ of Replevin/Sequestrian first.
