  the credit of the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles fund [and may
  be spent only as provided by Section 501.138].
         (b)  If a lien is disclosed on a title, the department may
  issue a certified copy of the [original] title only to the first
  lienholder or the lienholder's verified agent unless the owner has
  original proof from the lienholder of lien satisfaction.
         (c)  The department must plainly mark "certified copy" on the
  face of a certified copy issued under this section. [A subsequent
  purchaser or lienholder of the vehicle only acquires the rights,
  title, or interest in the vehicle held by the holder of the
  certified copy.]
         (d)  A certified copy of the title that is lawfully obtained
  under this section supersedes and invalidates any previously issued
  title or certified copy. If the certified copy of the title is
  later rescinded, canceled, or revoked under Section 501.051, the
  department may revalidate a previously superseded or invalidated
  title or certified copy of title [A purchaser or lienholder of a
  motor vehicle having a certified copy issued under this section may
  at the time of the purchase or establishment of the lien require
  that the seller or owner indemnify the purchaser or lienholder and
  all subsequent purchasers of the vehicle against any loss the
  person may suffer because of a claim presented on the original
  title].
