Quick answer

Texas Form VTR-271, Limited Power of Attorney for Eligible Motor Vehicle Transactions, authorizes an agent (such as an auto dealer, title service, fleet coordinator, or family member) to sign Texas title and registration documents — including Form 130-U — on behalf of the vehicle owner or buyer when federal odometer disclosure on a secure VTR-271-A form is not required. The grantor enters the vehicle description, agent name, and county/state, then signs with a copy of their government photo ID attached.

Field-by-field breakdown

What each section of 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) identification

Full legal name, street address, city, state, and ZIP code of the person or business granting power of attorney.

Appointed Agent (Attorney-in-Fact) information

Full legal name (or dealership/company representative) and address of the person authorized to sign on the grantor's behalf, plus their county and state.

Vehicle description

17-character Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), year, make, body style, model, and Texas license plate or title number.

Grantor signature, date & photo ID requirement

Signature of the grantor and date signed. TxDMV requires a photocopy of the grantor's valid government-issued photo ID to accompany Form VTR-271.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • 1Using Form VTR-271 when a secure Power of Attorney (Form VTR-271-A) is required for federal odometer disclosure on a lost title or title held by a lienholder.
  • 2Forgetting to attach a photocopy of the grantor's government-issued photo ID — county tax offices reject VTR-271 without the grantor's ID copy.
  • 3Leaving the 17-character VIN blank — Form VTR-271 is specific to the vehicle identified on the form, not a general blanket power of attorney.
  • 4Mismatching the grantor's name between Form VTR-271, their photo ID, and Form 130-U.
