You need to contact your local DMV or County Clerk for information about how to obtain an abandoned vehicle title in your state.

If your state doesn't have this type of title process, then you'll need to contact one of the for fee services of another state to find out how they can go about obtaining a bonded or title by publication title for the vehicle. You can locate one of these companies by searching on-line.

No can do in Tx. Has to be a junk vehicle 10 years old and then it has to go to a demolisher.

you can find all the rules here: http://www.txdmv.gov/vehicles/titles.htm

It's unclear if the abandoned vehicle with a Texas plate on it is now in Texas.

Even if Texas laws don't allow for an abandoned vehicle title, other states do and there are service companies that will handle that paperwork for you ... for a fee, of course.

A bigger concern right now for the OP might be whether or not the vehicle is stolen and abandoned, or was simply malfunctioning and left. We had a similar situation locally here recently, where an early 1980's vintage MB sedan broke down on the interstate near a exit with a repair shop and the driver had the car towed to the shop ... then left it there, saying he'd be back to get it later on when the shop advised him that they didn't work on these cars.
After six months, the shop owner wanted it off his property, and called a tow service/storage yard to come fetch it. They ran the VIN and found out the car had been stolen over a year ago and the license plate was reported stolen from another vehicle in NJ. But the shop can still file a lien for the storage, and that could lead to a title for the car.

Even teaxas you can do a abanboned title. Had a friend who did this and it involved contracting any title holder and any lien. His even had a lien at a bank who never made any claim and he got a title issued. But check with your state where the vehilce was abandoned.

Push it out to the highway and park it on the shoulder.

Contact a friendly used car dealer. They do this all the time, and can tell you the shortcuts. Either that, or they might buy it from you and then sell it back to you for a processing fee. Does the truck have any value as a usable vehicle, or do you just want to get rid of it?
