Sign the Title: You must sign the back of the title exactly as your name appears on the front. Include the date of the sale and the current odometer reading.
Release of Lien: If you had a loan on the car, the title will show a lienholder. You must have the lien released by the lender before you can sell the vehicle. The lender can provide you with a lien release letter.
Application for Texas Title (Form 130-U): You and the buyer need to complete and sign the Application for Texas Title and/or Registration (Form 130-U). This form includes the sales price and is required for the buyer to register the car.
Yes, vehicles registered in Dallas County require a passing emissions inspection.
Emissions Inspection: While a safety inspection is not required for non-commercial vehicles in Dallas County, a passing emissions test is mandatory for the buyer to register the car.
Vehicle Inspection Report (VIR): It is helpful to provide the buyer with a copy of the most recent VIR. They will need this proof of a passing inspection to complete the title transfer and registration process.
No, the seller is not responsible for paying sales tax. This is the buyer's responsibility.
Sales Tax: The buyer is required to pay a 6.25% motor vehicle sales tax. This tax is calculated on the higher value between the actual sales price and the Standard Presumptive Value (SPV) of the vehicle.
Title and Registration Fees: The buyer will also pay all applicable title transfer and registration fees at the county tax office.
While a bill of sale is not legally mandatory in Texas, it is highly recommended for your protection.
What to Include: A comprehensive bill of sale should list the vehicle's year, make, model, and Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). It should also include the final sales price, the date of the sale, and the full names, addresses, and signatures of both the buyer and the seller.
Your Protection: This document serves as a legal record of the transaction and can protect you from future disputes regarding the sale terms or vehicle condition.
In Texas, the license plates belong to the seller, not the car.
Remove Plates: After the sale is complete, you must remove your license plates from the vehicle. You have the option to transfer them to another vehicle you own, return them to the TxDMV, or destroy them.
Remove Registration Sticker: You should also remove the registration sticker from the windshield, as it is tied to your license plates.
It is critical to formally notify the TxDMV that you no longer own the vehicle.
File a Vehicle Transfer Notification: As soon as you sell the car, submit a Vehicle Transfer Notification (Form VTR-346) online through the TxDMV website.
Why It's Important: Filing this notification protects you from liability for any parking tickets, toll violations, or even crimes committed with the vehicle after the sale. You should file it within 30 days to ensure you are legally protected.
The most effective way to ensure the transfer is completed is to go with the buyer to the local Dallas County Tax Assessor-Collector's office. This finalizes the sale and removes your name from the vehicle record on the spot, providing you with immediate peace of mind.
