Relating to procedures for the issuance of a bonded title for a motor vehicle.

This bill amends Texas law to clarify procedures for obtaining a bonded title when a motor vehicle lacks a clear title. It directly affects vehicle owners who lost title documents but need to register or sell their vehicles. Key changes include: (1) allowing bonded titles if liens are 10+ years old, lienholders are out of business, or lien releases are provided; (2) requiring the Department of Motor Vehicles to notify recorded owners/lienholders of bond filings; and (3) delaying title issuance for 30 days if no existing license number exists, unless no one objects. The bill takes effect September 1, 2025, and does not change bond amounts or liability limits.
