Hey everyone,

I’m in the process of buying a used car from a private seller in Texas and want to make sure I handle the title transfer correctly. I’ve heard it’s super important to get everything right to avoid issues with registration or future ownership disputes.

I’ve got a few questions:

• What documents do I need to complete a title transfer?

• Is it better to go through the DMV or use a title service like Swift Auto Title?

• Do both the buyer and seller need to be present?

• Are there any fees or taxes I should be prepared for?

• How long does the process usually take?

If anyone has gone through this recently, I’d love to hear your tips or what to watch out for. I want to avoid any delays or surprises!

Thanks in advance for your help!
