Titus, like Timothy was a young man following in Paul's foot steps. By the time Titus was written by Paul, Titus had been educated in the scriptures and knew all the problems the church faced. Paul's letter to him was for personal encouragement and counsel in facing the ungodliness of the area where he would be ministering, which was the island of Crete.
One commentator said that Paul's letter to Titus was most likely in response to a letter from Titus or a report from Crete.

Where is Titus in The Bible from?
Tradition says that Paul wrote the Epistle to Titus from Corinth in the year 64 A.D.However, nearly all New Testament scholars say that Paul was not really the author of Titus. They say that although attributed to the apostle Paul, Titus was actually written early in the second century, long after Paul's death. As with any pseudepigraphical work we can not assume that the epistle was written to Titus, and it was really an encyclical to the Church as a whole. The author realised that by using Paul's name, the epistle would gain far greater respect than if he had acknowledged his own role as the author. Since the epistle was actually a forgery, we can not really say exactly when or where it was written.
