I purchased a 93 del sol frame from the "Swap Shop (justin and teddy" here in dallas a couple months ago. The owner said the title is on the way cause they did a mechanical lien on the previous owner fo the car. So they gave me a reciept stating that it's a clean title and I will get the title in 30 days. I did check carfax and the car has clean title and nver been wrecked so I decided to pick it up and paid him. 30 days gone by and they still haven't had my title, so I decided to visit them. They told me that it's still on the way and the lady working for them is still working on it. So I gave them another 10 days. 10 days passed and still no title. When I returned there to find out what's going on. Justin (parner) told me the owner (Teddy) was in jail and he was the one taking car of my title. Justin told me that he will try to take care of it and tell me to return tomorrow. I ruturned the next day finding that the shop was closed. Now there's no way to get in contract with him and I'm stuck with a car with no title.
Is there anytihng I can do to get a title or my money back? should I take them to court? ect..?

take them to court. How much did you pay for the car? If you try to get he title yourself you will need to know the last owners name. Have a bill of sale. Call the DMV to find the right paper work in order to file for loss titel for your self

lucky one

Find a friend with a auto shop and do a lean sale on it and in 30 days you'll get a title.
