Public service announcement.

If you need to do something with a car title, like a title transfer, please be aware of the following facts:

Universal Auto Title Service on Justin Lane in Austin is “permanently closed”. Their former location has a sign in the window directing you to the county tax assessor’s office on Airport Boulevard, which is open from 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM.

While it is true that the Airport Boulevard office is open from 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM, they will not do any transactions involving vehicle titles after 4 PM.

If you are thinking about going to one of the many tax assessor’s satellite offices, such as the one in Oak Hill, those are all “temporarily closed” (except, I believe, the one in Pflugerville). (I did a sorry job of covering this, for which I apologize: there was a flap, with several arrests, because some employees of the various satellite offices were apparently diverting money into their own pockets.)

There is apparently a title and registration service still open in Oak Hill. I’ll report later on.

    Thanks, George. The place in Oak Hill didn’t work out (that will be the subject of a post) and the county office didn’t work out either. I may give Fry’s a try next. I appreciate the tip: I wasn’t even aware of Fry’s, and they didn’t turn up in my DuckDuckGo searches.
