I inherited a vehicle from a private individual, but the title and license plates are from Illinois. He was the last one to sign the title, but never transferred the car to Texas. What do I need to do to have the plates transferred?

Contact the DMV in Texas and ask them what information they need specifically and tell them if he has passed on or is still living, it could make a difference when telling you what information is needed.

Registering a Vehicle in TX

All vehicles owned by Texas residents must be properly registered.

Auto insurance

The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) requires that you have insurance to get an inspection, register your vehicle, and get a Texas driver's license. If you're in the market for new coverage, visit our Car Insurance Center to compare rates from a variety of providers.

Registering a New Vehicle

After purchasing a vehicle, you have 30 days to register it with the TX DMV. To register, visit your local County Tax Office and:

Provide proper identification.
Provide proof of car insurance.
Complete an Application for Texas Certificate of Title (form 130-U). This form handles titling and registration.
Provide a Certificate of Inspection, if applicable. This will depend on your county.
Pay the registration fees (fees vary by county and vehicle type).
Transferring Registration

If you are purchasing a vehicle from a private individual, or selling your own vehicle and need to transfer the registration, visit our Title Transfers in Texas page.
