Any experience with bonded titles?

I'm looking at bid salvage cars and have noticed a few that are cheaper than the others but only come with a bill of sale.

I was reading up on bonded titles in Texas and understand the process. They just don't explain how much you have to pay to get it.

I'm just trying to figure out if it's cheaper because it keeps the people that flip salvage cars off the auction because it's a long process, or if it's just too much of a risk, or if it's not as "easy" to get a bonded title in other states.

call any of the companies and tell them what you have and they will quote you on the phone. its not cheap and you still have to pay the ttl

Father in law is working on a bonded title for a 68 mustang. Up to 30k cost him around $600 just for the bond. Only thing is he payed that well over a year ago and still hasn't received any thing back from the bond company. He calculated everything and said it was going to cost him around $1,000-$1200 from what I remember.
