I'm looking to buy a used boat from a private party in Texas, who still has a bank note/lien to pay off. Texas Parks & Wildlife Dept's website has some forms to help, and specifically states do not buy a used boat without receiving the title signed on front and back. The owner obviously needs me to pay him, so that he can pay off his bank note and get the title.
Will a Bill of Sale, signed by both parties, cover me until the owner receives the title and forwards it to me? Should I complete all forms mentioned in the TPWD's guidelines for buying a boat?
