Re: sold auto, received ticket

You have two issues to resolve. All towns that I am aware of have a procedure where you complete a notarized affidavit that you no longer own the car, and will be relieved of responsibility. Contact the municipal court clerk. Secondly, contact the division office of DPS/DOT where you live, and you can get the title released from your name. There is a reverse procedure called a bonded title. It will cost you a fee now, but better than paying for serious consequences later.
