Texas law states that as of September 1, 2003, all titles became Statements of Ownership and Location (SOLs), so the title should be acceptable. However, if the County will not accept the title, you may submit a written request to the Department for an SOL at no charge, as long as the original title is surrendered and there are no changes to any of the information on the title. If the original title has been lost or if any of the information on the title has changed, a completed Application for Statement of Ownership and Location and applicable fees will be required.
