Trailer Title Needed in Texas?? - 10/26/21 02:50 PM
I bought a 2008 Triton from a guy a month or so ago. He had title for the boat and motor but nothing for the trailer, which I thought was normal. It has been a decade or so since I had bought/sold a boat here, but I thought I remembered no trailer titles in Texas were needed. Once I had all paperwork and bill of sale stuff needed, I sent the wife to the DMV to execute the sale and get it all moved over into our name. She came back saying that the DMV told her we would need the title for the boat trailer and that a bank still had a lien on the boat trailer.
I went back to the seller to discuss. He said there has never been a title for the trailer and everything was long paid for (boat, motor/trailer) years ago.
When I do a little research on the google machine, it seems to support that there are no trailer titles needed in Texas.
Does anybody have any insight they can share here?
