Legal Question in Traffic Law in Texas

Re: Sold my Car - purchaser never registered the car under her name

I took the following FAQ from the Texas Department of Transportation website. Their local office is on Beltline in Carrollton.

Question: I sold my vehicle several months ago, but the registration and title have not been changed to reflect the new owner's name and address. I'm getting notices about parking tickets involving that vehicle -- and the registration renewal notice has also come to me. What can I do?

Answer: It is likely that the new owner has not transferred the title to their name. Contact the county tax office or VTR Regional Office and fill out the Motor Vehicle Transfer Notification (Form VTR346) *. Or write a letter to: Texas Department of Transportation, Vehicle Titles and Registration Division, Attention: Vehicle Data Management Branch, Austin, TX 78779. The letter must provide the vehicle description (year, make, VIN), date of sale, and purchaser�s name and address. Upon receipt of the fee and the form or letter, we will place a notation on the motor vehicle record indicating that the vehicle has been transferred. The fee for this service is $5. Checks or money orders should be made payable to the Texas Department of Transportation.
