Is it legal for a co-signer to reposses the vehicle that is financed through a bank?
I don't think so. The co-signer is not the registered owner and has no claim to the vehicle. Only the bank or the loan company (which lends the buyer the money and holds the vehicle title until it's paid for) can repossess. The co-signer just guarantees the loan. If the buyer defaults, the bank will come after him to make payments.

Can a co-signer take the car away from the primary driver?
The automobile's title/registration determines the legal owner of the vehicle. Loan documents only concern the signer's legal responsibilities with the bank. If both names are on the title and you as primary are not paying on the loan then it is the responsibility of the co-signer to pay the loan. Since the the co-signer is still co-owner, and they are paying then the co-signer can take the car away. Remember this is affecting the co-signer's credit as well as your credit.
Would a cosigner's name appear in the credit bureau?

When a car in Texas gets repossessed for failure of payment does the car company come after the main signer or the cosigner for paying off the rest of the loan?
Both. But in reality, they go after the money. If the primary is broke, doesn't have a job, homeless, whatever, the bank will go after the person with the money. Now aren't you glad that you co-signed? They'll first try to get the primary signer to pay the debt. If he can't, the company will hold the co-signer liable for it. A co-signer is just as legally liable for the debt as the primary signer. You know when it's a good idea to become a co-signer? Never.
