Frequently asked questions

Can I get a title loan in Live Oak, 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 Live Oak?

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 is a title loan in Live Oak?

A title loan is a loan secured by your vehicle's title. The lender holds a lien on your car while you keep driving it, and the lien is released once the loan is repaid. Because the car secures the loan, approval depends largely on your vehicle's value, not just your credit. Live Oak drivers can start a title loan request online 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, Live Oak drivers can start a title loan request online in about 3 minutes.

Can I refinance my title loan in Live Oak?

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 with a salvage or rebuilt title?

It's harder, but not always impossible. Many lenders require a clean title, while some will consider a rebuilt title after the car has passed inspection. Salvage titles are rarely accepted because the vehicle's value is hard to confirm. If your title is branded, mention it on our form so lenders serving Live Oak can tell you upfront whether they can help. It takes about 3 minutes.

Can I get a title loan on a financed car in Live Oak?

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.

Do I need to visit a store in Live Oak?

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.
