According to the law, a cosigner signs for someone else that they think might not pay off the load. The cosigner signs a contract agreeing to pay the loan off if the other person does not. He can be solely responsible becase he signs a contract promising to do so.

In the State of Texas, the answer would be "YES" as both parties signed for the car loan and both are responsible for the balance due.

What are the rights of a cosigner?
A cosigner is a person who signs with another person for a loan of some sort due to credit issues or financial reasons. A cosigner unfortunately does not have as many rights as the person who is first listed on a loan. For example, if you purchase a car and your boyfriend/girlfriend cosigns for you and you two break up, they cannot take the car away from you. However, if you are late on payments, the cosigner will then be responsible for the payments.
