Move Title Notification For Free

If you have bought a vehicle from a Texas dealer and you are a Texas resident, the dealership will transfer the title at the tax office on your behalf. However, if you have purchased a vehicle from an individual, the documents must be submitted to the tax office in person or by mail.

$25 late transfer penalty is assessed if the purchaser fails to apply for title within 30 days of purchase. ADD another $25 penalty - for each additional 30-day(or part of a 30-day period) when transferred on or after the 31st work day after the date of sale, not to exceed $250.00.

If the buyer does not sign the title and mail or give it to DVS, then the seller's name stays on the title of the car. If the buyer doesn't transfer the title within 10 days, the car's registration is suspended. What should I do if I sold a car but didn't report the sale? You should report the sale to DVS immediately.

Information and Instructions. ? Submit this form within 30 days of the vehicle's date of transfer to help protect yourself from liability for criminal or civil acts involving the vehicle and the person(s) or entity taking ownership.

Failure to title within the 30 days results in an automatic $25 penalty, plus another $25 for each month the title is late. There are no waivers for these penalties, which means the (YOUR COUNTY) county tax office and the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles cannot reduce or forgive what you may owe.
