Frequently asked questions
Can I get a title loan in Amarillo, TX?
Auto title loans are legal in Texas through the same credit access business model as payday loans: a licensed CAB arranges a loan secured by your unencumbered vehicle from a third-party lender, and the CAB fee is not capped by state law. You can start online; the lender will need to see the car and a lien-free (or nearly paid-off) title in your name.
What happens if I miss a title loan payment in Amarillo?
The CAB must warn you in writing that on default you may have to surrender the vehicle. Under the general Texas secured-transactions law a lender may repossess after default without a court order only if it does so without a breach of the peace, and must send a reasonable written notice before selling the vehicle.
What do I need for a title loan in Amarillo?
Most lenders ask for a vehicle title in your name, ideally free of other liens, a valid government-issued ID, proof of income, proof of residence in Texas, and the vehicle itself for photos or a quick inspection. Some lenders also ask for proof of insurance or a spare key. Requirements vary by lender. Start our 3-minute form to see what lenders need from you.
Can I get a title loan without the title?
You generally need the title, because it's what secures the loan. If your title is lost, you can request a duplicate from the Texas motor vehicle agency, and some lenders can help with that step. If the title isn't in your name, it will need to be transferred first. Once you have it, Amarillo drivers can start a title loan request online in about 3 minutes.
Can I get a title loan on a financed car in Amarillo?
Sometimes. If you still owe money on your car, some lenders may approve a title loan based on your equity, meaning the car's value minus what you owe. Others require a title that's fully paid off and in your name. Because policies vary, enter your vehicle and current loan details on our form, and lenders serving Texas will tell you what they can offer.
Can I get a title loan online in Amarillo?
Yes. Many title lenders let you start and complete most of the process online. You enter your vehicle and income details, then upload photos of your car, title and ID instead of visiting a store. Some lenders may still ask for a quick in-person inspection. Funds are usually sent to your bank account. Start your Amarillo title loan request in about 3 minutes.
How do I get a title loan in Amarillo?
Gather your vehicle title in your name, a government-issued ID, proof of income and proof of address. Then complete our online form with your vehicle's year, make, model and mileage. A lender may ask for photos or a quick inspection to confirm the car's condition. If you're approved, you'll review the full terms before you sign. It takes about 3 minutes to get started.
Do I need to visit a store in Amarillo?
No. You can request offers online from a phone or computer. Some lenders, especially title lenders, may ask you to visit a location or send photos of your vehicle.
