How do I aquire another title to my car, if I lost the original?

Question

I live in Texas

Answer 1

I live in Indiana and here if we lose our title we can get a new one by using the registration. So, try the registration process. if you have't registered the vehicle yet and lost the title, you will have to contact the last registered owner and ask them to file for lost title, which you would be responsible for the cost.

Answer 2

Contact the state that holds the title to your vehicle(Texas) and request a duplicate title. There will be a small fee. If you have a lienholder,the lienholder has the title and will release it when you have paid the vehicle off. If there is more than one registered owner, both owners need to sign the form for a duplicate title. The signatures must be original, no photocopies are accepted.

Answer 3

Of course you can only get a duplicate if it's in your name. If you didn't transfer it before you lost it, you will have to contact the seller and have him get the duplicate and start over. But assuming it's in your name...
