Missing a Title for Your Car or Motorcycle in Texas? Here’s How a Bonded Title Can Help
Buying a car, motorcycle, truck, or trailer without a clean title can quickly turn into a headache. Whether you bought a vehicle on a bill of sale, lost the original title, or inherited a motorcycle without paperwork, a Texas Bonded Title allows you to legally register, insure, and drive your vehicle.
When Do You Need a Bonded Title?
You will typically need a bonded title in Texas if:
You purchased a vehicle or motorcycle and only received a bill of sale.
The original title was lost before it was transferred into your name.
You received a vehicle through an inheritance or gift without proper documentation.
How the Process Works
TxDMV Application: Submit your paperwork (Form VTR-130-SOF) to the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles to determine your eligibility and required bond amount.
Purchase Your Surety Bond: Purchase a surety bond for 1.5 times the vehicle’s appraised value.
Complete Registration: Take your approved bond and TxDMV paperwork to your local county tax office to receive your bonded title.
