A bill of sale for a motor vehicle in Texas is a legal document that proves the car was lawfully traded. A bill of sale will include details about the purchaser and vendor, as well as a description of the car being sold and sales details like the fee. A bill of sale helps both the purchaser and the vendor keep track of their transactions, and it can also be used to support various state-filed applications.

Odometer Disclosure Statement - When applying to title a motor vehicle, you must fill out an odometer disclosure form.

Signature Requirements - Both individuals or entities involved must put their signature on the agreement. The state of Texas does not need that the form be notarized, but it does recommend that both individuals visit the county tax office together when the vendor signs over the motor vehicle's title.

Automobile Registration

Any automobile acquired by a Texas inhabitant and used on Texas roadways is required to be documented. When a purchaser purchases a dealership, the merchant will usually tender the proper document on the purchaser's behalf. When buying a car from a private party, the purchaser has thirty days to transfer the title to his or her name and document the car, both of which are usually done together. Most car registrations are valid for a year and can be renewed virtually.

Where do I Register?

A vehicle can be registered by submitting an application and supporting papers to the purchaser's local county tax office.
