Frequently asked questions

Can I get a title loan in Selma, 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 Selma?

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.
