Yes and no. You can request a title history in Texas but you need, at least, the VIN and cannot go back to the 1969 registration but must work your way back from the current owner. I would need to have more info on the current owner/registration. If I had that, I wouldn't need to do a title history.

FYI - The Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT) has purged records of cars that have not been titled since around 1988. I found this out the hard way on my Chevelle. In trying to find previous owners, I ordered a title history but the only record returned was for the previous owner. Unfortunately, the previous owner was my mother as I was a minor at the time of purchase!! Luckily, the dealer where we purchased the car was still around and I contacted them for, hopefully, more information. The owner's wife explained that they had moved, had a fire, had their roof blown off in a storm and had been throwing out old records but she would look and for me to call back tomorrow. When I called, she said that I was "the luckiest guy in the world". She had pulled my file over the weekend and thrown it in the garbage. If I had not called THAT DAY, it would have gone out in the trash. To make a long story short (too late) I was able to contact the 2nd owner (I being the 4th) but he was unable to recall the name of the first owner, but I digress.

For anyone interested here is the request for Texas motor vehicle information.
