What's on the Title

1.            Identifying information about the vehicle, normally at minimum its vehicle identification number, make, and year of manufacture.
2.              Technical information about the vehicle to define its taxation regime, such as its gross vehicle weight and motive power.
3.              The name and address of the purchaser or "registered owner" who would normally possess and use it.
4.              If money is owed on the vehicle, the name of the lien holder or "legal owner" to whom this money is owed.

 When a vehicle is financed, the certificate of title is normally held by the lender, who must release it to the purchaser once the balance is paid off. When a car is sold from one owner to another, the title must be transferred to the new owner. This is achieved by requesting approval by the Texas DMV.
