Texas questions
How do I transfer a vehicle title in Texas?
Texas title transfers are handled by your county tax assessor-collector's office, using TxDMV rules. The buyer generally applies for title with the signed-over title, an Application for Texas Title (Form 130-U), proof of insurance, and payment. Check TxDMV's buying-or-selling guidance for the current steps.
