Towing and pickup in Granbury
The car does not need to run to request an offer. Describe whether it starts, rolls or steers, and confirm the pickup arrangements when you accept.
Pickup in Granbury is arranged after you accept an offer; timing depends on local tow-operator availability.
Tell us where the car actually sits before the truck rolls. Describe tight access, low clearance, fences or other obstacles so the pickup team can assess access. Confirm who needs to be present and which documents to bring.
Texas title and paperwork rules
Granbury sellers follow Texas state law, and the agency of record is Texas DMV. The clean route is a title in your name: sign it at pickup, never hand over a title with the buyer's section left blank, and photograph it before it changes hands.
Replacing a lost title: VTR-130-U + Bonded Title (VTR-130-SOF). Texas uses a bonded (surety) title when the chain of ownership is broken: you post a surety bond — typically 1.5× the vehicle's appraised value — and the Texas DMV issues a title you can sign over.
Plates: Remove your plates — Texas plates stay with the seller and can be transferred.
Reporting the sale: File the Vehicle Transfer Notification (VTR-346) with TxDMV within 30 days — it releases you from liability. That filing is what ends your liability for the vehicle — do it even though the car is already gone.
No title? What Granbury sellers can do
Texas requires a bonded title (Form VTR-130-SOF) when a regular title is unavailable. Licensed metal recyclers can accept vehicles 10+ model years old with photo ID and a Bill of Sale under Tex. Transp. Code §501.
Licensed TX salvage buyers and dismantlers can generally purchase a vehicle for recycling with less than a full title, provided you present ID and the right documentation — typically starting with the VTR-130-U + Bonded Title (VTR-130-SOF).
Form numbers, fees, and year cutoffs change, so verify the current process with Texas DMV before you commit. We deliberately don't state a TX legal requirement more precisely than we can stand behind.

Granbury seller checklist
Title in your name or your Texas DMV replacement paperwork under way, photo ID, and a lien release if the car was ever financed.
Car emptied — glovebox, console, trunk, under the seats, spare-tire well — a photo of the VIN and odometer, and plates handled per Texas rules.
A written offer with pickup and payment terms confirmed, a signed bill of sale you keep, your Texas sale notice filed afterwards, and insurance cancelled only once the car has physically left.
