Anna, TX Bankruptcy Law Firms & Lawyers

For it to be "criminal restitution" it has to be an award made by a criminal court, not a small claims court. There are other criteria too, but that's the one that your question indicates will be your biggest roadblock.

I do not know who is giving you legal advice, but it does not sound that you have a car loan with your parents and to register it in your parents name at this point in time would probably be considered a fraudulent conveyance.

I really don't know what you mean when you say your "bankruptcy case says".  Bankruptcy cases don't say things.  Your case was either dismissed, or it wasn't.  If it was there must be a court order dismissing it, and if that occurred, your case is over and you did not receive a discharge of debts.  In order to receive a discharge you would need to file a new bankruptcy case. Without knowing why it was dismissed, when, and all the other facts and circumstances surrounding your case, I can't advise as to what other options you might have with respect to vacating the dismissal order, etc.  You need to consult with an experienced bankruptcy attorney in your area for more details.
