Good To Know
The electronic lien and the title program is a paperless method that allows TXDMV and a financial institution or lienholder to exchange vehicle title information electronically. The title record is sent electronically and the lienholder stores the electronic record instead of a paper Certificate of Title. The electronic title is created and held by TXDMV in the state motor vehicle database. When the loan is paid in full upon lien holder's request, the TXDMV will print a paper title and mail it to the owner.
10 business days after a loan has been paid off, JSC FCU will automatically release the electronic lien with TXDMV. After 10 business days has passed, the State will then mail a paper title to you within 7 to 10 business days to the address the Credit Union has on file. If the address on record is incorrect, please update your address with the Credit Union to ensure the title comes to the correct address. Any address changes should be made prior to loan payoff.
