Re: Purchased a 92 Camaro from scam artist Houston, looking for lost owner.
They're based on an assumed value of the car. I had to do one for a 2002 Grand Prix that I bought in Dallas. Here's a link for Texas.
http://www.txdmv.gov/vehicles/titles/bonded.htm
I had to buy the bond and pay for title and license even though I was taking the car back to Alabama (The title came up missing on the trip).
relatively painless just a p.i.t.a to do.

Yup. They wanted less then 200$ i beleive in my case. Ended up running into another snag. When paying the bond they found they guy that sold the car from me put a lien on it the day before and the reposesed the car. So in the end. Car price and repairs, I lost 6k$
