What You'll Need (We Keep It Simple)
Texas keeps the paperwork easy. No notary is needed on a Texas title — sign it, hand it over, done. Lost the title? Apply for a certified copy with Form VTR-34 (a few dollars, TxDMV). After the sale, protect yourself by filing the free Vehicle Transfer Notification (Form VTR-346) with TxDMV within 30 days — it ends your liability for tickets and tolls. The plates are yours: take them off before the truck leaves; transfer them to your next vehicle or recycle them. And since January 2025 Texas has no annual safety inspection for private vehicles — though emissions testing still applies in the Houston, Dallas–Fort Worth, Austin and El Paso metros, with Bexar County (San Antonio) joining from November 2026, which is exactly why some cars end up here. There is a fuller walkthrough for Port Arthur sellers at selling a car without the title in Texas. If the car took water at some point, flood title versus salvage title in Texas explains how the brand changes what it is worth. A note on Port Arthur paperwork, because the two forms get confused. Form 130-U is how the buyer titles the vehicle at the county tax office; VTR-346 is how you tell the state it is no longer yours. Different forms, different filers.

What to Expect When You Sell
Pricing. A quote is built from what is physically there: scrap weight first, then the catalytic converter, wheels, glass and usable components. A stripped car is worth noticeably less than a complete one.
Towing. Free on every pickup, including non-runners. Describe the approach — driveway, street, shop, apartment lot, long gravel drive — and whether the ground stays firm after rain.
Paperwork. Photo ID and any document tying you to the vehicle. If the title is gone, the right route depends on whether you are the owner on record, so tell us the situation before pickup day.
