Selling a car in Texas is a straightforward process, and you can find all the required paperwork online.
Before you get started, remember to make a copy of your vehicle history report. This isn’t mandatory, but potential buyers will feel more comfortable when they can access the vehicle’s history and service records.
Once you find a buyer and agree on the price, follow these steps to finalize your sale:
Fill out the title (if you have lost the title, complete the Texas DMV Form VTR-34).
Have the buyer complete the Buyer’s Application for Title (DMV Form 130-U). This will also serve as the bill of sale.
