I’ve paid off my vehicle. Woo hoo! I wrote a letter to the lienholder and received a notarized “lien release statement”. Then I wrote to my County Tax Assessor-Collector, who sent me an “Application for Certificate of Title” that I need to turn in with a check for $30.
But the application looks like something you’d fill out when you’re selling, trading in or donating your vehicle. I don’t want to do any of that yet – I just want to have the title in my name for when I do get rid of the car in the next 12 months.
Anyone have any experience (preferably in Texas) in transferring vehicle titles? Thanks.
