Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Texas

I had a car for sale and a man that I know wanted to buy it. He gave me $450 cash and asked me to sign the title. I did and told him that we needed to go do the appropriate paperwork. He then took the car, without doing any paper work, and sold it. I have no clue who he sold it to and it is still in my name. I know someone is driving the car, but I do not know who. Do I have the right to take the car back if I can locate it? He claims to have filed papers with the DMV, however I have not signed any papers. Wouldn't I have to sign papers for my car to be sold? What are my options?

If you locate the car, you should NOT take it back (I assume that the $450 you received is the full price).
