How to Order a New Vehicle Title in Texas
If you want to sell your car, you need your title proving ownership. If you have lost or misplaced your title, you can order a new one from the department of motor vehicles. In Texas, you can request a replacement title either online or in person. You must pay for the new title by check or money order as the Texas DMV does not accept credit or debit cards.
