These documents contain text of correspondence sent by
TxDOT to the county tax assessor-collectors, statutory agents who provide
vehicle registration and titling services for citizens in Texas. This
information is provided to apprise the general public of issues affecting the
state’s vehicle titling and registration process.
PURPOSE
To provide a copy of Vehicle Transfer Notification:
Frequently Asked Questions for your reference and use.
DETAILS
The department has seen a considerable increase in the number of
complaints received from vehicle owners who have sold or transferred their
vehicle to a new owner, but the new owner has failed to transfer the title. To
ensure consistency when responding to questions regarding this subject, we have
developed the attached Vehicle Transfer Notification: Frequently Asked
Questions (FAQ).
Guidelines for vehicle buyers and sellers, including information regarding
vehicle transfer notifications, have also been added to the TxDOT Web site (www.txdot.gov)
under the “Vehicle Titles” tab. The Web site Frequently Asked Questions will be
updated in the near future. Customers may be referred to the Web site for
additional information regarding vehicle transfers and to download a copy of the
Texas Motor Vehicle Transfer Notification, Form VTR-346.
CONTACT
If you have any questions or need any additional information,
please contact your local Vehicle Titles and Registration
Division Regional Office. In some cases the Registration and Title Bulletins (RTB) contain attachments. If you
require a copy of the original signed RTB and the attachments, please
e-mail us and include the RTB number.
Repeat requests are subject to charges in accordance with Open Record
policies. A subscription service is also available for an annual fee of
$250. Subscribers will automatically receive all RTB mailings as they
