What are the Texas Vehicle Registration and Title Requirements?

Answer:
If you purchase a car in Texas, you will have

to apply for a title and register it. To do so, you will need to visit the County Tax Assessor-Collector’s Office with the following documents:

· Vehicle Identification Certificate of Inspection

· Old title or Manufacturer’s Certificate of Origin

· Proof of insurance

To have your vehicle inspected, visit any station or garage that has a sign posted indicating that they are official inspection stations.

The fee for registration will be between $40.80 and $70, depending on the age and weight of the vehicle. The fee for a title transfer is $28.

You must apply for the title and register the vehicle within 30 days of purchase. You will also have to pay sales tax on the vehicle.
