de tener/ de que tener
Anyone have a quick explanation for this? I forgot when to use each of them..
Or a link to a site that explains it will work too

I don't know what you mean.
¿De qué tienes miedo? De las arañas -> I'm afraid of spiders.
Maybe you mean this:
De tener que elegir uno, eligiría España.
In case/If I had to choose one, I'll choose Spain.
Without a context, they are just group of words. Like, what is the difference between "that it" and "since that it".
de tener = of having
de que tener = of that having
There are several sentences and uses where you can stick those phrases, but some of them are not connected at all. As I said, they are just words that happen to be one after another. If you try to study Spanish by memorising all random chunks of particles that appear in a sequence, you'll never ever learn the language. There are too many, and no one has ever bothered to compile such a pointless list.
Hi, I think you are a little bit confused. Because that doesn't mean anything to me either. Maybe you wanted to ask tener que hacer algo / deber (de) hacer algo... Is it possible?
