Quick answer

Texas Form VTR-130-SOF, Bonded Title Application or Tax Collector Hearing Statement of Fact, is the official TxDMV statement required when applying for a Texas bonded title or county tax collector hearing because the regular certificate of title is missing, defective, or unavailable. The applicant completes the vehicle description, bill-of-sale history, and explanation of how the vehicle was acquired, then submits it to a TxDMV Regional Service Center alongside photo ID, VIN inspection (if out of state), and ownership evidence before filing Form 130-U.

What is Form VTR-130-SOF?

Bought a vehicle, trailer, or motorcycle in Texas without a properly assigned title, or clearing an aged inventory unit at a Texas dealership? Form VTR-130-SOF is the mandatory Statement of Fact that initiates the Texas bonded title process at a TxDMV Regional Service Center before you file Form 130-U at the county tax assessor-collector office. Because the narrative fields, seller contact lines, and vehicle condition checkboxes must be legible and consistent with Form 130-U, JustFill lets individuals, auto/trailer dealers, and title clerks type every field cleanly in the browser or batch-generate VTR-130-SOF and Form 130-U packets from CSV.

Field-by-field breakdown

What each section of Form VTR-130-SOF 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.

Application type & vehicle identification

Select Bonded Title Application or Tax Collector Hearing, then enter the 17-character VIN, year, make, body style, model, and license plate or title number (if known).

Applicant information

Full legal name, government-issued photo ID number and state, street address, city, state, ZIP, telephone number, and email address.

Vehicle condition & Texas eligibility disclosures

Yes/No checkboxes confirming whether the vehicle is complete (frame, body, and motor), whether it is junked/nonrepairable, and how long it has been in Texas.

Acquisition details & seller information

Date of purchase/acquisition, purchase price, whether a bill of sale or invoice is attached, and the name, address, and phone number of the person from whom the vehicle was obtained.

Statement of Fact narrative

Certification & applicant signature

Original signature and date certifying under Texas third-degree felony penalty statutes that the statements are true and correct.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • 1Taking Form VTR-130-SOF straight to the county tax office first — for a bonded title, you first submit VTR-130-SOF to a TxDMV Regional Service Center to obtain a Notice of Determination (VTR-130-ND), buy the surety bond within 1 year, and then file Form 130-U at the county tax office.
  • 2Leaving the seller name or acquisition explanation vague — TxDMV requires a specific explanation of how you obtained the vehicle and why the previous owner could not transfer the title.
  • 3Applying for a bonded title on an incomplete or disassembled vehicle — the vehicle must have a frame, body, and motor (or be a complete trailer/motorcycle) to qualify.
  • 4Mismatching the VIN or purchase price between Form VTR-130-SOF and Form 130-U.
