What Is an Auto Title Surety Bond?

An Auto Title Surety Bond, sometimes called a bonded title bond, is a type of surety bond used in certain Texas vehicle-title situations when acceptable proof of ownership or a properly transferable title is unavailable.

The bond provides financial protection for qualifying parties who may later establish a legitimate claim to the vehicle.

An auto title bond does not automatically prove ownership of a vehicle. Instead, it is part of the process that may allow an applicant to pursue a bonded title when the Texas requirements are met.

Do You Need a Bonded Title in Texas?

You may need an Auto Title Surety Bond if you're dealing with a situation such as:

  • You purchased a vehicle without a properly assigned title.

  • The previous owner cannot provide the required title.

  • The original title has been lost or is unavailable.

  • The vehicle's ownership documentation is incomplete.

  • You're unable to obtain acceptable evidence of ownership through the normal title process.

Every situation is different. The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles determines the applicable title requirements and whether a bonded title process is available for your circumstances.
