Texas Certificate of Title Surety Bond

The Texas Certificate of Title Surety Bond is required by the State of Texas when an individual needs to obtain a certificate of title for a vehicle but cannot provide the standard required documentation. This bond serves as a financial guarantee that protects the state and any rightful owners who may later claim ownership of the vehicle.

Who Needs This Bond Individuals who need to obtain a Texas certificate of title but lack proper documentation such as the original title, bill of sale, or other required paperwork must secure this bond. The bond is specifically required when the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles determines that standard documentation is insufficient to establish clear ownership.

Protection and Coverage This bond protects the State of Texas and any parties who may suffer financial loss due to the issuance of the certificate of title. If someone later proves they have a valid claim to the vehicle, the bond provides financial recourse up to the bond amount. The bond amount varies based on the value of the vehicle as determined by the state.

Bond Terms The bond has a 3-year term and bond amounts vary depending on the vehicle's value. For individual applicants, the bond application must include the complete first, middle, and last name exactly as shown on the rejection letter from the state.
