I ran into title issues some years ago thanks to a flipper. TX title requires a signature front and rear, it was only signed in one place. So I went back to him to get the second signature and he signed it, except the title wasn't in his name and that caused the DMV to have issues. So I ended up umping thru the bonded title hoops. After that rigamarole I don't have anything to do with anything that has title issues.

I would find out what your state requires to get a title in this case and if it is worth the hoop jumping.
