If you hold title to the automobile, you should have a formal title issued by the state of Texas Dept. of Motor Vehicles.

If you didn't pay off the note, and the lender wrote it off as a bad debt, you do not have clear title, and never will, until the loan is paid in full. A simple way to know whether a lien is on your car is to contact the DMV, give your VIN or plate number and ask if any liens have been placed. If the records show this vehicle is in your name, with no legal owner/lienholder on record, a title can be applied for. However, like I said, if the lender merely wrote off the debt, it's not your car to sell.

Go to motor vehicle department. They may be able to answer your question.
Not sure about right offs. However, if you try to sell the car you might have a view problems and that's the "key" here.
It's also the "key" question that you need know about in case you want to sell the car.

I'm not sure but you can go online to Texas Motor Vehicles. I'm not sure just what information you can get there but it's worth a shot. If that doesn't work, just go to your nearest office and ask. There isn't anything they can do to you. I'll bet you don't have clear title. You never get something for free.

if you didn't pay it off, then it's not clear. you can't just get a free car out of it, buddy. the repo man is closing in on you.
do you have a signed letter stating that the company "wrote" it off?
