Where To Sign
In Texas, you have to make the title transfer from seller to buyer, within 30 days of making the sale.
As a seller, you have to keep the buyer’s information in record as required by the Texas DMV.
There are two locations for you to sign on the title. On the front, find a section that reads ‘SIGNATURE OF OWNER/AGENT’ and sign.
Head over to the back of the title top half and find the section that reads ‘SIGNATURE OF SELLER/AGENT’
Important Tips About Signatures On The Title
- Signatures must be similar. Always check to ensure that you are signing correctly and accurately before you can sign the title.
- Alien holders that have been listed on your title must be the ones to sign off the title. However, if the alien holder is not available or cannot sign, you will require to have the original lien release from the lien holder.
Where To Print Your Name
On the back of your Texas title, find a field that reads ‘PRINTED NAME (similar to signature)’ below the signature section.
Important Tips About Names
