Texas Title Transfer SELLER Instructions - YouTube

all right let's take a look at how to fill out the Texas title when you are

selling a vehicle. Just remember titles are legal documents so don't make mistakes.

Don't erase anything or use whiteout. Don't cross or scratch anything out.

Write neatly with good handwriting. Only use black or blue ink. Use actual names.

No nicknames and just be real careful because any errors can void the document.

If you do need to give a replacement title, then there's a link in the

description that can lead you to instructions and links of the forms and

all that stuff that you need for that. But, assuming that you got the title

let's take a look at it. So, if there are any liens shown on the front the title

that are not released, you'll need to have it signed off by the lien holder or

obtain an original release document from the lien holder. Basically, You gotta show that

it's a paid off. So yeah, then on the back of the title, fill out

completely the upper block of information that says assignment of

title. Then, you'll print the buyer(s) name and complete address. Then fill in the

odometer reading in the space provided. Enter your mileage exactly as it appears

on your odometer and do not include tenths.

If the odometer does not reflect the actual miles on the car, then check the

box that says the "odometer reading is not actual mileage" warning odometer

discrepancy. Then you enter in the date of the sale. Then by the date, the seller signs

and prints their name or names on the two lines.

Make sure to print your name or names exactly as they appear on the front of

the title below owner. Don't use short names or nicknames. Use the actual name.

Keep in mind better when there's two registered owners listed on the title

you must check to see if there's an OR or nothing listed between the registered

owner's names. So, if there's an OR, then either registered owner can sign and

print their name and sell the vehicle. Otherwise, the signatures and printed names

of both registered owners are required.

Then the buyer signs and prints on the next two lines. Along with the buyer,

print and fill out the form 130-U. It's the application for Texas title and/or

registration. You and the buyer must sign. It can be printed from the resources

link from the description of the video.... you can find it there. Be sure to keep a

copy. It's their application but it's your record of the sale. If necessary,

you can go with the buyer to a Texas Division of Motor Vehicles office and

get it done. Then submit the vehicle transfer notification to Texas DMV. This

can be done online. You can find the link from the resources link in the

description. Then, finally, you keep your license plates and that's about it. So it

doesn't cover every situation but hopefully it'll get you going and give

you a pretty good idea what you need to do to fill out the title when you sell a

vehicle in the state of Texas. Alright have a good one.

Thanks
