  • Texas auto, truck, RV, and trailer dealership title clerks verifying Items 1–38, dealer GDN numbers, and ELT lienholder codes

Field-by-field breakdown

What each section of Form VTR-130-UIF 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.

Items 1–13 — Transaction Type & Vehicle Description

Check Title & Registration, Title Only, Registration Purposes Only, or Nontitle Registration; then enter the 17-character VIN, Year, Make, Body Style, Model, Major/Minor Color, Texas License Plate No., Odometer Reading (whole miles + Actual/Not Actual/Exceeds Mechanical Limits), and Empty/Carrying Weight.

Items 14–19 — Applicant Type, Photo ID, Legal Name, Address & County

Select Individual, Business, Government, Trust, or Non-Profit; enter the Applicant's government-issued Photo ID number/type/state (or EIN/FEIN for businesses), full legal name(s), mailing address, county of residence, and physical vehicle location if different.

Items 20–24 — Previous Owner (Seller / Dealer) & Renewal Notice Address

Seller's or dealership's legal name, municipality, and state (plus Texas Dealer GDN number on dealer sales), and any separate registration renewal notice recipient.

Items 25–34 — Motor Vehicle Tax Statement, Lienholder & ELT Certified Number

Check only if an additional lien exists; enter First Lien Date, Certified Lienholder ID (11-digit ELT number) or full lienholder name and address; select Diesel/Electric/Hybrid remarks; and complete the Motor Vehicle Sales and Use Tax calculation (Sales Price less Trade-In = Taxable Amount × 6.25%, or $90 New Resident / $5 Even Trade / $10 Gift Tax / Exemption claimed).

Items 35–38 — Trade-In Description, Voluntary Contributions & Signatures

Year, Make, and VIN of any trade-in vehicle; optional state park/veterans/organ donor contributions; and original signature(s) of the Applicant/Owner (note: under VTR-130-UIF rules, a seller signature on Form 130-U is NOT required when the seller is not a licensed Texas dealer).

Common mistakes to avoid

  • 1Chasing a private seller to sign Form 130-U — Form VTR-130-UIF explicitly clarifies that while the seller must sign the back of the Certificate of Title, a seller signature on Form 130-U is not required unless the seller is a licensed Texas motor vehicle dealer.
  • 2Claiming the $10 Texas Gift Tax without Comptroller Form 14-317 — VTR-130-UIF warns that a gift transfer between qualifying family members (spouse, parent/child, grandparent/grandchild, sibling, guardian) requires a notarized Affidavit of Motor Vehicle Gift Transfer (Form 14-317) signed by both donor and recipient.
  • 3Forgetting that private-party used car purchases are checked against Standard Presumptive Value (SPV) — if you pay less than 80% of the vehicle's SPV in a private sale, the county tax office calculates 6.25% tax on 80% of SPV unless you provide a certified appraisal on Comptroller Form 14-128.
  • 4Enteringtenths of a mile in Item 9 (Odometer Reading) — always enter whole miles only and leave Item 9 blank if the vehicle is odometer-exempt and you write "EXEMPT".

Form VTR-130-UIF example — what a filled-out form looks like

A fictional new Texas resident, Jordan L. Sample, moves from Colorado to Collin County, Texas with a 2021 Subaru Outback that was previously registered in Jordan's name in Colorado, and uses the VTR-130-UIF rules to prepare Form 130-U with the $90 New Resident Tax.

Items 1–10 — Transaction Type, VIN, Description & Odometer

☑ Title & Registration · VIN 4S4BTANC••••••••• · 2021 SUBARU · Body: LL (SUV) · Model: OUT · Color: GRN · Odometer: 48,920 (Actual)

Applies for both Texas title and registration plates; whole miles only in Item 9.

Items 14–20 — Applicant, ID, Address & Previous Owner

☑ Individual · TX DL •••••890 · SAMPLE, JORDAN L · 600 Sample Legacy Dr, Plano, TX 75024 (Collin County) · Item 20 Previous Owner: SAMPLE, JORDAN L, Denver, CO

On a new-resident transfer with no change in ownership, the applicant is listed in both Item 16 and Item 20.

Item 37 — Motor Vehicle Tax Computation (New Resident)

☑ $90 New Resident Tax (Vehicle previously registered in applicant's name in Colorado)

Under VTR-130-UIF instructions for Item 37, a new Texas resident bringing a vehicle previously registered in their name in another state pays the flat $90 New Resident Tax instead of 6.25% sales tax.
