Bills of Sale in Texas
Texas requires a bill of sale for all motor vehicle title transfers. The Texas DMV provides Form 130-U (Application for Texas Title) which includes bill of sale information. Texas also requires a Vehicle Inspection Report for registration and an Odometer Disclosure Statement for vehicles under 10 years old.
Texas has no state income tax but does charge 6.25% motor vehicle sales tax on private vehicle sales, paid by the buyer at the county tax office when registering.
