What Is a Bonded Title (and Why You Might Need One)
A bonded title is a type of vehicle title issued when you don’t have the original.
It’s backed by a surety bond that protects against ownership disputes — allowing you to register, sell, and insure your vehicle legally in Texas.
✅ Common reasons you may need one:
Lost or missing title
Bought a vehicle with no title
Title signed incorrectly or unreadable
Can’t reach previous owner

Before becoming an insurance agent, I ran a vehicle inspection station for eight years & a car dealership for five years, where I learned the ins and outs of titles, VIN verifications, and DMV paperwork.That hands-on experience taught me how confusing the process can be — especially when you’ve lost a title or bought a car with missing paperwork.I eventually became a licensed insurance professional and discovered I could help people in a better way:
by providing surety bonds and clear, step-by-step guidance to make the bonded title process simple, fast, and legal.Every video and guide I share comes directly from real-world experience, not just theory. I’ve gone through the same DMV hoops myself — and now, I’m here to make sure you don’t have to.
