Military Packet to Title and Register Your Vehicle

To transfer your vehicle to Texas follow the steps outlined below. Forms and instructions follow: Step 1. Complete a VIN Self-Certification, Form VTR-272-B (enclosed), or obtain an Out of State Identification Certificate, Form Vl-30 (issued by a vehicle safety inspection station). Step 2. Obtain insurance meeting the state's minimum requirements. You will be required to furnish the declarations page for registration purposes. Step 3. Provide proof of military service or Leave and Earnings Statement (LES) along with a copy of your current government issued identification. Step 4. Complete an Application for Texas Title, Form 130-U (enclosed). Step 5. If you are applying for a Texas title and registration you will also need:

a. The current title (Or MCO if a new unregistered vehicle). b. If importing from another country, a USDOT Form HS-7 and US Customs Form CBP 7501 Entry Summary (or other acceptable evidence).

If you are applying for registration purposes only (no title will be issued) you will also need:

a. Your current out of state registration, and b. An Application for Registration Purposes Only, Form VTR-272(enclosed).

Step 6. Because we all enjoy the Texas roads and scenery, each vehicle registered in Texas pays fees unless you are exempt by law. Fees Fees will include:

ü New resident tax $90.00 or 6.25% sales tax ü Registration fee for passenger car or truck (6,000 lbs. and less) $50.75 ü Title application fee $28.00 or $33.00 ü Local and county fees $0 - $21.50 (varies by county) ü Automation fee $1.00 ü DPS electronic insurance verification fee $1.00

Since fees vary by county, be sure to check with your county for specific amounts. Taxes If you are a Texas resident and have not previously paid Texas sales tax on the vehicle, you will pay either a 6.25% sales tax or the difference of the full sales tax previously paid to another state. For used vehicles the value of the vehicle will be determined at the county and is based on the Standard Presumptive Value (SPV) of the vehicle or sales price (whichever is higher). An SPV calculator is available on our home page at www.TxDMV.gov. More information can be obtained by calling the State Comptroller's office at (800) 252-1382 or by visiting www.window.state.tx.us. More Important Information To allow someone to register and title on your behalf, you can provide a Power of Attorney to Transfer a Motor Vehicle, Form VTR-271 (enclosed) in addition to the required paperwork.

Insurance Texas law requires the following minimum amounts of coverage on your vehicle:

ü $30,000 bodily injury to or death of one person in any one accident ü $60,000 bodily injury to or death of two or more persons in any one accident, with a $30,000 limit for one person ü $25,000 because of injury to or destruction of property of others in any one accident

"No fault" insurance is not considered valid proof of financial responsibility in Texas. However, proof of financial responsibility from out of state or out of country is acceptable if the insurance company is licensed to do business in Texas and reflects the above minimum amounts. Safety Inspections Every vehicle registered in Texas must pass an annual safety inspection. Some counties also have emissions testing requirements. Please check with your county for requirements. Texas approved inspection stations conduct vehicle inspections and VIN verifications. Many mechanics, repair facilities, and full-service stations are approved to perform the inspections. Look for the state inspection sign at their place of business. For more information, contact the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) at (512) 424-7293 or visit their website at www.txdps.state.tx.us. You will need to present valid proof of liability insurance in order to receive your vehicle inspection sticker. Importing Vehicles Your vehicle must meet the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) established by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Information on the safety standards can be found at www.nhtsa.dot.gov/CARS/RULES/IMPORT/. More information concerning duty or other customs matters is available from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, http://www.cbp.gov/. Military personnel are not required to complete a Form VTR-68-A. A certified English translation of any document printed in any language other than English must be provided.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS APPLICATION FOR TEXAS TITLE

This form must be completed and submitted to your County Tax Assessor-Collector accompanied by any required application fee, supporting documents, registration fee if applicable, and any motor vehicle tax due. An application form may be reproduced or faxed. A completed form must contain the original signature of the buyer. The seller's signature may be reproduced or faxed. All title applications must include one of the government-issued photo IDs listed on field 14a. Rights of Survivorship (Optional) - Two or more persons may enter into a rights of survivorship agreement. It is not restricted to husband and wife. Please use Form VTR-122, Rights of Survivorship Ownership Agreement for a Motor Vehicle.

AVAILABLE HELP

• For assistance in completing this form contact your County Tax Assessor-Collector.

• For information about motor vehicle sales and use tax, or emission fees, contact the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, Tax Assistance Section, at 1-800-252-1382 toll free nationwide, or call 512-463-4600.

• For title or registration information, contact your County Tax Assessor-Collector or the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles at 512-465-3000 or 1-888-368-4689.

With a few exceptions, you are entitled to be informed about the information the department collects about you. The Texas Government Code entitles you to receive and review the information on request, and to request that the department correct any information about you that is deemed incorrect. Please contact the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles at 512-465-3000 or 1-888-368-4689 for details.

The sales and use tax must be paid to the County Tax Assessor-Collector within 30 days from the date of purchase or entry of the vehicle into Texas. A $2.50 fee for transfer of current registration is due in addition to the title application fees and other applicable fees. If not currently registered, registration fees will be due.

A 6.25 percent motor vehicle sales or use tax is imposed on the sale price (less trade-in allowance) of motor vehicles for use in Texas, or of a motor vehicle purchased outside of the state and later brought into this state by a Texas resident.

Standard Presumptive Value (SPV) applies to private-party sales of most used motor vehicles purchased or brought into Texas. The tax is computed on the greater of the sales price or 80 percent of the SPV on the day of title application.

New Texas residents are subject to a $90 use tax on a vehicle brought into this state that was previously registered to the new resident in another state or foreign country. This is in lieu of the 6.25 percent use tax imposed on a Texas resident.

There is a $10 gift tax when a person receives a motor vehicle as a gift from an immediate family member, guardian or a decedent's estate. A vehicle donated to, or given by, a nonprofit service organization qualifying under IRC 501(c)(3) is also taxed as a gift. Both donor and recipient must sign the Comptroller's joint affidavit Form 14-317, Affidavit of Motor Vehicle Gift Transfer. The affidavit and the title application must be submitted in person by either the donor or recipient.

A transaction in which a motor vehicle is transferred to another person without payment of consideration and one that does not qualify as a gift described above is a sale and will be subject to tax calculated on the vehicle's standard presumptive value.

A late penalty equal to 5 percent of the tax will be charged if the tax or surcharge is paid from 1 to 30 calendar days late; if more than 30 calendar days late, the penalty will be 10 percent of the tax. Minimum penalty is $1.

In addition to the late tax payment penalty, Texas Transportation Code provides for an escalating delinquent transfer penalty of up to $250 for failure to apply for title within 30 days from the date of title assignment. Submit this application, along with proper evidence of ownership, and appropriate valid proof of financial responsibility, such as a liability insurance card or policy.

All new residents applying for a Texas title and registration for a motor vehicle must file at the County Tax Assessor-Collector of the county in Texas where the applicant resides within 30 days of establishing residency. Texas law requires that all vehicles, previously registered and titled or registered in another state or country, be inspected for safety and the vehicle identification number verified before such vehicles may be registered in Texas. These inspections must be made by a state appointed Safety Inspection Station that will complete a VI-30, Out-of-State Identification Certificate. This form must be submitted to the County Tax Assessor-Collector with your application for registration and Texas title.
