Selling a junk car in Texas: title & DMV rules
Texas requires a title in your name to transfer a junk vehicle, including a scrap sale from a Mineral Wells driveway.
- If the title is missing
- 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. The duplicate-title paperwork in Texas is VTR-130-U + Bonded Title (VTR-130-SOF).
- License plates
- Remove your plates — Texas plates stay with the seller and can be transferred.
- Notice of sale / release of liability
- File the Vehicle Transfer Notification (VTR-346) with TxDMV within 30 days — it releases you from liability.
- What Texas salvage buyers must 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.
- Sign the seller assignment on the title
- Complete the odometer disclosure
- Handle plates as TX requires
- File the notice of sale, then cancel insurance
For the full walkthrough — paperwork, no-title options, and current TX payout ranges — read our guide to selling a junk car in Texas.
Rules change — confirm current forms and filing windows with the Texas DMV.
