What steps should I follow to give a vehicle as a gift to a friend or relative?

Please give the recipient your (signed) negotiable title and request that the recipient complete a title application (form VTR 130-U), which must be provided to their county tax office.

Effective September 1, 2009, when a motor vehicle is transferred as a result of a gift, the title application must be accompanied by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Form 14-317, Affidavit of Motor Vehicle Gift Transfer. The donor and recipient must both sign the affidavit and title application. The "$10 Gift Tax" only applies to a person who receives the vehicle from a:

Spouse
Parent or Stepparent
Grandparent or Grandchild
Child or Stepchild
Sibling
Guardian
A decedent’s estate
A vehicle donated to or given by a Nonprofit IRC Sec. 501(c)(3)
On the title application, the recipient who qualifies should check the "$10 Gift Tax - Affidavit required. Use Comptroller Form 14-317." box found in Section 21. The recipient will have to provide proof of auto insurance at the county tax office to register the vehicle.

If reg is expired, you have to renew on spot.
