Texas Motor Vehicle Bill of Sale Form
Last updated May 24th, 2025
A Texas motor vehicle bill of sale is written proof of a vehicle purchase and sale between two individuals. It lists information such as the purchase price, the vehicle’s specifics, and its odometer reading. It is recommended for both parties to keep a copy of the form for their records.
Texas Vehicle Registration (3 steps)
New owners have 30 days from the purchase date to register their vehicle.[1]
1. Registration Documents
Registration and titling of a vehicle can be done with the documents below.[2]
2. Check Title (Optional)
The DMV recommends that the seller sign the vehicle’s title at a county tax office in front of a representative to avoid title issues. However, a title check can be performed online for a fee if the seller can’t accompany the buyer to the office.
3. Register Vehicle
Once the forms are gathered, they may be submitted to a County Tax Office. The titling and registration of a vehicle can be done at the same time.[3] The buyer will need to pay the title fee, sales tax, and transfer fee.
