Well, this is Texas. I have been to Austin. The records exist. I have made the contact there. The Army COE still calls on the Tarrant County Sheriff's office to haul off stuff. They have records. In Texas we don't
I think those dmv records are probably long destroyed. I worked at Florida dmv for 17 years, 1983 to 2000. And I don't think even then we had records from 1974, even on microfiche. And if there was microfiche it would be impossible to recreate the ownership trail. Records that old were not on computer
I agree. I know from working decades with the state that we only archived cases for 10 years after they were closed. At that point, they were destroyed. And those were judicial cases. I can't see the DMV keeping records on a vehicle for half a century that had no title activity.
