Reclaim your car since it apparently hasn't been signed over to anyone else. If you are the only titled owner and no other paperwork has been filled out then you are still the legal owner. Whoever steps up for title gets the tickets too.
If the title has not been changed out of your name, it's your car. Go get it. That happened to someone I know a few years ago. The new owner paid for the car and never changed the title. They were busted for drugs and the police siezed the car. Did a title search and returned the car to the previous owner. Win-Win

legally, since the title was never transferred into his name from yours, you still own the vehicle. you will need to go to the DMV and file "lost title" paperwoark and they will issue you a new title.
also, it was illegal for him to sell the vehicle without a title to the vehicle, titled in his name. the only hope for the now "current owner" is to file for a bonded title, which you can do in the state of texas. when a person files for a bonded title, theymust wait for (3) years before the vehicle is legally theirs. during that 3yr window if any pervious owner files claim that they own the vehicle, the courts will order it returned.
once you file of a replacement title, you can retrieve the vehicle. the person who now has the car loses it and he is out whatever the price, parts, time, etc., they have put into it. at that point, you can bet he will seek down the individual who sold him the car.
as for the ticket, sounds like you are hosed there.
Always, and I mean ALWAYS DO A BILL OF SALE!!!
name of seller, sold to name of purchaser, make/model of vehicle, VIN #, date of sale, amount of sale, and anything parts included, as-is no warranty. make and sign 2 copies, and have the buyer sign each. then, each party then keeps a copy for their records.

If you go the route of recovering your car, do it right. Fill out the necessary paperwork and have it approved by the court.
DO NOT give advance notice to whoever holds the car now.
Call the local PD to have an escort to keep the peace. Anybody here would get rowdy if some guy just walked up and said the car you already paid for isn't yours and will now take the keys and drive it home.
You can work out whatever you want with the current 'owner' once there. Plus cops are pretty much top of the food chain in court, second reason for having an escort present.

I can still do that even though I signed off on the title to Tyler? I dont want to **** over the new owner like that. I just want the $75 I had to pay on the ticket and be done with the whole situation. Tyler sent me a pm with the new owners contact info and he said that if it was his fault he will take care of it, I dont want to screw the guy over. To me it would be like I was stealing the car since I already sold it.
The guy who bought it from Tyler already sold it and he said he will pay me back for the ticket. Even though I already paid the ticket can I still get the car back? I dont know if the new owner has titled it in his name
