Texas Title transfer form
Texas Form Form 130-U: Application for Texas Title and/or Registration
Texas doesn't have a separate numbered bill of sale form. Form 130-U is the document that actually transfers title, and it includes the sale price the county uses to calculate motor vehicle sales tax.
Notary required: Texas requires this document to be signed in front of a notary public.
