as long as you physically have the title in your possession and its in your name and they haven't signed the back, you are still the legal owner. A title company would have to give proof of your financial obligation to them

After you've already done a good title search can a title company hold your money for 6 months after closing?

A title company may hold back a portion of the proceeds to pay for a repair of a physical problem with the property or a title problem. They must have given you the reason for the hold back at the time of the closing. "Doing a good title search" doesn't prevent a hold back. The title search may have disclosed a reason for a holdback. Call the title company asap and ask for an update. If it goes on for an unreasonable amount of time or they don't respond to your calls then file a complaint with your attorney general or if the title company is operated by lawyers then file a complaint with the state bar overseers.

Is it legal for a bank to hold a title to a vehicle that is paid for?

It is illegal for a bank to hold onto a title for a vehicle once a typical deadline for funds to clear for payment of said title has cleared. Contact your local attorney general and state government banking institution that governs bank licensing and file a complaint. They should notify you in writing as to why you have yet to receive your title.
