In Texas, you'll need to have a clear title when selling your car. This means that the car must be registered in your name and there can't be any liens or encumbrances against it. The first step is to make sure that you have all the necessary paperwork in order. You'll need your driver's license, the car's registration, and proof of insurance. You should also have a bill of sale ready to sign over to the buyer.
Once you have all of this documentation, you'll need to visit your local county tax office to transfer the title into the buyer's name. They will require the following:
-The completed application for a Certificate of Title (Form VTR-130)
-The vehicle's current out-of-state title or other proof of ownership like a previous registration receipt if the vehicle was previously registered in another state -A completed Odometer Disclosure Statement (Form VTR-152) if the vehicle is less than 10 years old
-Payment for all required fees including taxes
After transferring the title, you will need to remove your license plates from the vehicle. You can either keep them or surrender them to your local DMV office. And that's it! You've successfully sold your car in Texas.
