Texas-Specific Disclosures

Motor Vehicle Sales Tax: Texas imposes a 6.25% motor vehicle sales and use tax on the purchase price (or standard presumptive value — whichever is higher). Buyer is responsible for payment at TxDMV registration.

Standard Presumptive Value (SPV): The TxDMV uses SPV (published retail value) to calculate tax on private sales priced below market. If your sale price is below SPV, the buyer may pay tax on the higher SPV amount.

Title Transfer Deadline: Buyer must apply for title transfer within 30 days of the sale date to avoid late transfer penalties.

Form 130-U: The buyer must also complete TxDMV Form 130-U (Application for Texas Title) at the local county tax office.

Texas Vehicle Bill of Sale FAQ

Does Texas require a bill of sale for a private vehicle sale?

Texas does not have a mandatory bill of sale form, but a written document showing the sale price, VIN, and both parties' information is required to complete title transfer at the county tax assessor-collector office. The TxDMV Form 130-U is also required.

What is the Standard Presumptive Value (SPV) in Texas?

The SPV is the TxDMV's estimate of a vehicle's retail market value, based on national guides. If the declared sale price is more than 20% below SPV, the buyer will pay sales tax on the higher SPV amount rather than the actual purchase price. Check the current SPV at TxDMV.gov.

How much is motor vehicle tax in Texas?

The Texas motor vehicle sales and use tax rate is 6.25% of the purchase price or SPV (whichever is higher). This is paid by the buyer at the time of title transfer at the county tax office. There is no city or local vehicle sales tax on top of this.

How long does the buyer have to transfer a Texas vehicle title?

The buyer must apply for title transfer within 30 days of the date of sale. Late transfer fees apply after 30 days. The seller's risk ends when the title is transferred — if the buyer delays, they bear the cost of penalties.

Yes, completely free. No account, no watermark. Edit all fields, download the PDF, and have both parties sign. Always verify current TxDMV requirements at txdmv.gov.
