Try it with them and see what they can come up with.You can get the form on line I do not remember the site address but try under Texas Government.I alos just bought a 69 Dart swinger.I have the original title and wanted to keep it.So I had the previous owner fill out the paper work for a lost title.I go the the Texas Dept of Transportation to get a new title.Well they do not show any records of the car at all!Figure that one out.So I either have the option to get a bonded title and keep the original or turn the original in when I transfer the car.Going to cost about $500.00 for a bonded title! I don't know if it is worth spending that much just to keep the original title.I wish you luck in your search and will try to help if I can I am only about 25 miles from the DOT office. Try looking for Texas Department of Transportation web site to have them search,I think it cost me like $15.00 and it took about 3 weeks.They will not go through the microfiche to look just as far as there computers go back.I even offered to pay someone $100.00 to do a search after hours or whatever.I was told This"I would not go down there for a $1000.00 to look it is a dungeon!
