RJM,
Its really simple: No title, no check! It is incumbent on the seller to
produce a title. You might want to go to your local county tax office, and
verify what all you may need in order to ascertain full legal possession of
this vehicle, but you really should not have to.
If the current owners simply apply for a lost title as the current owners,
assuming they are the legally recorded owners, why should you have to kill
yourself for them to avoid having to spend about $5.00 at the TX Dept of
Transportation? If they are not in any way connected to the person or
persons on the title, why are you giving them a check for something they
cannot legally claim to own?
If they won't make the effort now, exactly what leverage do you think you
will have after the sale. Therefore, accept nothing less than a full title.
Hugh
