Special situation
Correct a title record in Texas
Use this path when the Texas title has the wrong owner, lien, VIN, or other detail that must be corrected before you rely on it.
What to gather first
- current title record or title certificate
- supporting documents that prove the correction
- payment when Texas treats the correction as a customer or lienholder error
Likely next steps
- Identify whether the error came from the original application, the county, the department, or later title paperwork before you file the correction.
- Use the official county office and regional service center links below to confirm where the correction must be handled.
- Do not transfer or renew against a title record that still contains a material error.
