Buying or selling a car privately in Texas: the forms

Buying or selling a car privately in Texas? Texas has no separate bill of sale for ordinary sales; form 130-U itself captures the seller’s and buyer’s signatures.

Every form below links straight to txdmv.gov, never a copy, and we check the links weekly.
