Tex. Parks & Wild. Code § 31.0567

EFFECT OF POSSESSION OF CERTIFICATE OF TITLE; JUDICIAL PROCESS

Known as the Water Safety Act

The act spans §§ 31.001 to 31.180 (123 sections).

Added by Acts 2025, 89th Leg., R.S., Ch. 185 (S.B. 1267), Sec. 21, eff

Possession of a certificate of title does not provide a right to obtain possession of a vessel or outboard motor. Garnishment, attachment, levy, replevin, or other judicial process against the certificate is not effective to determine possessory rights to the vessel or outboard motor. This chapter does not prohibit enforcement under the laws of this state of a security interest in, levy on, or foreclosure of a statutory or common-law lien on a vessel or outboard motor. Absence of an indication of a statutory or common-law lien on a certificate of title does not invalidate the lien.
