Can my father legally hold a vehicle from me when there was a verbal contract with a witness present?

I asked my father to put a truck in his name that I wasn’t going to be driving because I was required to have an IID due to OWIs i had gotten. He was asked this because i couldn't afford them in 2 trucks. The verbal agreement was that it would go into his name until I no longer had to have an IID at which point the title would be handed back over to me. He has since refused to give me the title back and states that he doesn’t have to because the truck is in his name. Even with the verbal agreement and a witness.

Jay's Response:

Either way, your Dad probably did you a big favor by stopping you from driving the vehicle until you get this your waiver taken care of, since the alternative would have been arrest for criminal OVR (operating after revocation) and a likely jail sentence any time the revocation relates in any way to a drunk driving. You have some good advice about filing a waiver form with the court, so follow it, but be sure to await the judge's approval before you drive. Good luck and drive carefully (and soberly)!
