Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a title transfer take?
Typically a few weeks once submitted – faster with Bonds Experts handling the paperwork.
What if the seller didn’t sign the title?
We can advise on the correct affidavits needed to complete the transfer.
How long do I have to transfer a title in Texas?
Texas gives buyers a limited window after the date of sale before late penalties begin accruing. Confirm the current deadline with your county tax office, or ask us and we will check.
Do both the buyer and seller need to sign?
Yes. The seller signs the title over and the buyer completes Form 130-U. Missing or incorrect signatures are one of the most common reasons a transfer gets rejected.
Is sales tax due when I transfer a title?
Motor vehicle sales tax is generally collected at the time of transfer, calculated on the sale price or the standard presumptive value depending on which the county applies.
What if the seller signed the title incorrectly?
Never use correction fluid or cross out an error. Depending on the mistake you may need a corrected title from the seller, or a different route such as a bonded title.
