Frequently asked questions

Can I get a title loan in Dallas, 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 Dallas?

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.

Can I get a title loan on a financed car in Dallas?

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.

How much can I get for a title loan in Dallas?

The amount depends mainly on your vehicle's value, along with your income and Texas rules. Lenders typically offer a portion of what your car is worth, so newer vehicles with lower mileage usually qualify for more. You'll see the exact amount and terms before signing. Enter your vehicle's details on our form to see what lenders may offer. It takes about 3 minutes.

Can I refinance my title loan in Dallas?

Often, yes. Some lenders let you refinance an existing title loan into a new loan with a different payment amount or term, and a new lender may be able to pay off your current one. Options depend on your vehicle's value, your income and Texas rules. Enter your details on our form to see what lenders in our network can offer you. It takes about 3 minutes.

Can I get a title loan online in Dallas?

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 Dallas title loan request in about 3 minutes.

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, Dallas drivers can start a title loan request online in about 3 minutes.

Do I need to visit a store in Dallas?

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.
