Vehicle Information
Lienholder Information
Method of Repossession

Under Method of Repossession, check the applicable box.
For Terms of Security (Lien) Agreement: if the lienholder repossessing the vehicle is recorded on the Texas title, the lienholder may reassign the title to a subsequent purchaser. If the lienholder is not recorded on the Texas title, the lienholder (dealer included) must apply for a Texas title in their name with a certified copy of the security agreement before transferring the vehicle.
For Sequestration, the original or a certified copy of the Sheriff's Bill of Sale must be submitted with the title application.
A Writ of Sequestration ordering a sheriff or constable to seize property may be issued by judges and clerks of the district and county courts and justices of the peace.
For Floor Plan Lien, enter the Dealership Name and the Dealer's General Distinguishing Number.
A "floor plan" lien covers vehicles in a dealer's inventory. If the dealer is in default under the terms of the security agreement, the lienholder may repossess and transfer ownership without securing title in the dealer's name. In such instances, an Application for Texas Title and/or Registration (Form 130-U) in the name of the purchaser must be supported by the Manufacturer's Certificate of Origin or Certificate of Title properly assigned to the dealership and reassigned to the purchaser by the lienholder, and the Security Agreement or UCC Financing Statement (Form UCC1).
