Quick answer

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.

What is 130-U?

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 130-U form PDF — free

Open the official Form 130-U (Rev. 05/26) directly in JustFill using the button above, or download the blank PDF from TxDMV. Page 2 contains the general instructions, and TxDMV also publishes separate detailed instructions as Form VTR-130-UIF. Review every entry (or bulk-fill multiple vehicles from Excel/CSV), then print for the original applicant signature.

Who fills out 130-U?

  • Buyers in a private-party vehicle sale applying for a Texas title in their name
  • Licensed Texas dealers completing the seller portion and filing for a customer
  • New Texas residents titling and registering a vehicle brought in from another state
  • Owners adding or removing a lienholder, or correcting information on an existing title
  • Recipients of a gifted or inherited vehicle transferring the title

Field-by-field breakdown

What each section of 130-U asks for. JustFill’s AI will detect these fields automatically when you upload the PDF — review the breakdown below so you know what to enter.

Vehicle identification

VIN, year, make, model, and body style of the vehicle being titled or registered.

Odometer reading

The current mileage and the odometer disclosure required on most title transfers.

Applicant (buyer) information

The new owner's name, address, and government-issued ID number.

Seller information

The seller's or dealer's name and address, matching the name on the title being signed over.

Lienholder details

First lien date and the lienholder's name and address if the vehicle is financed.

Sales price & trade-in

The price paid (and any trade-in) — the basis for the 6.25% motor vehicle sales tax.

Signatures & certification

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.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • 1Missing the 30-day deadline — late title transfers trigger penalties that grow the longer you wait after the sale date.
  • 2Understating the sales price — on private-party sales of used vehicles, Texas compares the reported price against the standard presumptive value (SPV) when calculating tax.
  • 3Submitting a copy of the applicant's signature — TxDMV requires the applicant/owner signature on Form 130-U to be original.
  • 4Assuming a private seller must sign Form 130-U. The seller still assigns the ownership document, but the TxDMV title manual says the 130-U seller signature is not required when the seller is not a licensed Texas dealer.

130-U example — what a filled-out form looks like

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.

Vehicle identification number

1HGCM826•••••••••

Copy it from the title itself, not from the dashboard plate — a single transposed character stops the transfer.

Year / Make / Body style

2018 / HONDA / 4DR SEDAN

Odometer reading

84,312 — Actual mileage

Whole miles, no tenths. Tick "actual" unless the odometer is broken or has rolled over.

Applicant (buyer) name and address

DOE, JANE M — 100 Sample St, Austin, TX 78701

Exactly as it appears on the ID you bring to the county office.

Seller name

ROE, RICHARD

Must match the name signed off on the reverse of the title. A mismatch here is the most common rejection.

First lien date / lienholder

Left blank

The car was bought outright. Only fill this in if a lender financed the purchase.

Sales price

$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.

Trade-in

Left blank

Nothing was traded in. A dealer trade-in would be deducted here before tax is calculated.

Signatures

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.

Frequently asked questions

The TxDMV form is free. JustFill is free to start and includes the first clean completed PDF download; title and registration fees and any motor vehicle tax are separate and are paid when you file.
Click "Fill Out 130-U Free" above to open the official Form 130-U directly in JustFill, or download the current 130-U PDF free from txdmv.gov and upload it to complete every field online before you go to the county tax office.
At your county tax assessor-collector's office, together with the signed-over title and any other required documents. On dealer sales, the dealership typically files it on your behalf.
You have 30 days from the date of sale to file the title transfer at the county tax office. Filing late adds transfer penalties on top of the normal fees and tax.
Not always. The applicant/owner must provide an original signature. TxDMV says a seller signature on Form 130-U is not required when the seller is not a licensed Texas dealer; when a seller signature is required, it may be reproduced or faxed. The separate title or ownership document still has its own assignment and signature requirements.
Yes — the worked example above walks a straightforward private-party used car sale through every field that matters, showing what goes on each line and why. The values in it are fictional, so use it to see the shape of a completed form rather than copying anything from it.
The TxDMV publishes instructions alongside the form at txdmv.gov/forms, and the second page of the 130-U PDF itself carries the line-by-line notes. The field breakdown and common mistakes on this page cover the parts people get wrong most often: the seller name matching the title, the odometer disclosure, and the reported sales price.
It is the primary Texas application for title and/or registration and is used in private purchases, gifts, inheritances, and many out-of-state transfers. The supporting documents and tax treatment vary by transaction, so follow the current TxDMV instructions and county requirements.
