Texas Title Related: Can I get title history somehow? 12 digit vin

[tednet]

So the truck I bought has an original 1966 Texas Title. The paper is very close to disintegrating and some parts are frayed. Heck, the title wasn't even blue back then.

However, the last time the truck passed inspection and was registered was in 1988. So surely the titled owners must have changed since then? The guy I bought the truck from is not on the title. The guy he bought it from is not on the title either. But there isn't a place where you can even put a new title owner like you can on the new titles.

Since I am getting close to the 30 days of ownership I am thinking of just applying for a bonded title. But if I can find the last registered owner and have him sign the title transfer I would save myself some headaches. But how do I find the last titled owner? None of the VIN check websites accept my vin.
