I received my car in a property settlement from my ex but I don't have the title. How can I go about getting the title when my ex is not working with me getting it? I have a signed property settlement from a judge.

If you can not get the title documents you need from the DMV to make the transfer alone then file a motion to have the court sign them on his behalf. You should consult a family law attorney or facilitator to assist you.

Take a certified copy of the settlement agreement and decree of divorce to the DPS office. I recommend you hire a lawyer.

It sounds like the ex is under a court order to cooperate in turning the car over to you, which means signing any necessary papers. Review the divorce decree and the MSA. If she is obliged to do so, you can seek to have her held in contempt. If she still refuses to sign, there are some other methods by which this can be accomplished. Consult a skilled family lawyer: they can smooth the way for you.

Either go back to the court to compel delivery of the title ( best) or take the registration and a true copy to the Secretary of State and seek a replacement title.
