In accordance the Texas Certificate of Title Act, Transportation Code Chapter 501, Texas requires all cars, trucks, and truck tractors to be titled. Ownership of a car or truck is transferable by title being assigned from seller to new owner on the back of the title. The transfer should be filed with your local county tax assessor-collector. In instances where you are unable to obtain a properly assigned title, you may obtain a Texas Bonded Title. The requirements are shown below.
- The vehicle must be subject to the Texas Certificate of Title Act, Transportation Code Chapter 501.
- The vehicle must be eligible to be registered and/or titled in Texas and is in the possession of, and legally controlled by, the title applicant.
- If there is no Texas record, the applicant must provide VIN verification by providing a completed Law Enforcement Identification Number Inspection (Form VTR-68-A). If the bonded title application is for “Title Only,” the VIN verification is still required.
