Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Texas
Private car sale-no title
What repercussions are available when a used truck was purchased privately, and the seller has not yet released the title after 27 days? We were told the title showed a lien on the truck but it was an error. Unfortunately, the seller had received our money before going to transfer the title.

Failure to transfer the title is a criminal offense. File charges with the local police or sheriff.
