Field-by-field breakdown

What each section of TX Form VTR-271 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.

Grantor (Owner / Buyer / Seller) Name & Address

Full legal name (or business entity name), street address, city, state, and ZIP code of the person granting limited power of attorney, matching their government photo ID.

Appointed Agent (Attorney-in-Fact) Name, County & Address

Full legal name of the appointed individual or dealership representative, their Texas county and state, and complete mailing/street address.

Vehicle Identification — VIN, Year, Make, Body Style & Model

17-character Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), model year, make, body style code (e.g. 4D, PK, UT, VN), model, and Texas license plate or title number if known.

Grantor Signature, Date & Photo ID Copy

Original signature of the grantor, date signed, and a mandatory photocopy of the grantor's current government-issued photo ID (Texas Driver License, state ID, or U.S. passport).

Common mistakes to avoid

  • 1Using non-secure Form VTR-271 when federal odometer rules require secure Form VTR-271-A (Power of Attorney to Transfer Motor Vehicle) because the physical title is lost or held by a lienholder and the vehicle is not odometer-exempt.
  • 2Forgetting to attach a copy of the grantor's government-issued photo ID — Texas county tax assessor-collector offices reject Form VTR-271 unless the grantor's photo ID copy is attached.
  • 3Leaving the 17-character VIN blank — Form VTR-271 applies only to the specific motor vehicle described on the form.
  • 4Appointing the same person as both buyer and seller agent to complete an odometer disclosure on a non-exempt vehicle.
