To file an abandoned vehicle claim in Texas, you must first ensure the vehicle meets the state's definition of an abandoned vehicle, which generally means it has been left unattended on public property for more than 48 hours or on private property without permission for more than 24 hours. Next, contact your local law enforcement agency to report the abandoned vehicle; they will typically investigate and may remove the vehicle. If you are the property owner where the vehicle is located, you can file a claim with the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV) to obtain a title for the vehicle after it has been towed. Be prepared to provide necessary documentation, including proof of ownership of the property and any relevant details about the vehicle.

"Voluntary repossession" basically means you're telling the lienholder "Come repossess this; I'll make it easy for you." Since the lienholder has no interest in the property, that means they'll come take the mobile home itself (or you could take it to them), but the property itself won't be impacted except to the extent necessary to drive in a couple of tractors to haul away the mobile home.
