Official 130-U from Texas Department of Motor Vehicles
Form 130-U is the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles application for title and/or registration. The applicant signs it and submits it to the county tax assessor-collector with the required ownership documents, fees, and tax. A private seller assigns the title but, under current TxDMV instructions, does not have to sign Form 130-U unless the seller is a licensed Texas dealer. JustFill includes the first clean completed PDF download at no charge.
Bought or sold a vehicle in Texas? Form 130-U is the main application for a Texas vehicle title and/or registration. JustFill turns the official TxDMV PDF into a form you can complete in your browser — enter the VIN, applicant details, lien information, and sales price instead of handwriting them at the counter. The buyer generally files it with the county tax assessor-collector within 30 days of the sale to avoid late transfer penalties; a dealer normally handles the filing on a dealer sale. The applicant's signature must be original. A seller signature on Form 130-U can be reproduced when required, but TxDMV says it is not required when the seller is not a licensed Texas dealer.
Download the current Form 130-U (Rev. 05/26) directly from TxDMV. Page 2 contains the general instructions, and TxDMV also publishes separate detailed instructions as Form VTR-130-UIF. Upload the official blank to JustFill, review every entry, then print it for the original applicant signature.

VIN, year, make, model, and body style of the vehicle being titled or registered.
The current mileage and the odometer disclosure required on most title transfers.
The new owner's name, address, and government-issued ID number.
The seller's or dealer's name and address, matching the name on the title being signed over.
First lien date and the lienholder's name and address if the vehicle is financed.
The price paid (and any trade-in) — the basis for the 6.25% motor vehicle sales tax.
The applicant/owner signs with an original signature. A seller signature may be reproduced when it is required; current TxDMV guidance says a non-licensed Texas seller does not have to sign Form 130-U.
A private-party sale: someone buys a used 2018 Honda Civic from a neighbour for $12,500 cash, with no trade-in and no loan on the vehicle.

Copy it from the title itself, not from the dashboard plate — a single transposed character stops the transfer.
2018 / HONDA / 4DR SEDAN
84,312 — Actual mileage
Whole miles, no tenths. Tick "actual" unless the odometer is broken or has rolled over.
DOE, JANE M — 100 Sample St, Austin, TX 78701
Exactly as it appears on the ID you bring to the county office.
ROE, RICHARD
Must match the name signed off on the reverse of the title. A mismatch here is the most common rejection.
Left blank
The car was bought outright. Only fill this in if a lender financed the purchase.
$12,500.00
The actual amount paid. Texas checks this against the standard presumptive value, so understating it invites a tax bill based on SPV instead.
Left blank
Nothing was traded in. A dealer trade-in would be deducted here before tax is calculated.
Buyer signs the original application; private seller assigns the title
The applicant signature on Form 130-U must be original. Under current TxDMV guidance, a non-licensed Texas seller does not have to sign Form 130-U.
These values are made up. They are here to show what belongs on each line, not to be copied — every name, number, and address on your own 130-U has to be your own. This illustrates a straightforward cash sale between two individuals. Gifts, inherited vehicles, out-of-state cars, dealer sales, and vehicles with an existing loan all follow different rules — check the TxDMV instructions for your situation.
