The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles has the following suggestions regarding your vehicle title:
If you're the seller:
- File a Vehicle Transfer Notification with 30 days when you sell, trade-in, gift or donate your vehicle. It's free and you cannot be held responsible for parking tickets, toll charges and other violations after the sale date.
- Sign the title over to the buyer and complete section 130-U. Keep the date of sale, vehicle make, model, VIN and buyer's name, address and phone number.
- Keep your license plates and windshield registration sticker. You can transfer your license plate to a new vehicle through your local county tax office.
If you're the buyer:
- Make sure you're getting a clean title. Take the seller with you to the county tax office to transfer the title.
- Ask for the vehicles records.
- Get your new vehicle titled in your name. You have 20 business days from the date of sale to apply for a new title.
- Go to www.TxDMV.gov to download a temporary Vehicle Transit Permit.
