Re: Rights to vehicle
It does sound a little unusual. The only judges in Texas that are not lawyers are JP's, and they don't have the authority to issue an injunction.
However, if the transfer of title was based upon a mistake or error, a higher court may set aside the transfer and order the car returned or repossessed.
