The core Texas dealer forms are Form 130-U (the title application on a retail sale), Form VTR-41-A (the dealer’s reassignment of title), and the Comptroller’s Form 14-313 resale certificate on a dealer-to-dealer sale. Form VTR-136 is obsolete for vehicles sold on or after March 1, 2022 (TxDMV RTB 001-22), and retail title work goes through webDEALER. In FoxDMS, the wholesale deal Documents menu prints Texas VTR-41-A today as an overlay on the secure form, from the deal you already entered. Form 130-U is coming soon.
Texas Dealer Forms at a Glance
What each form is, when a wholesale dealer uses it, and where to read more.
Form VTR-41-A: Dealer’s Reassignment of Title
What it is: a secure form only licensed dealers with a current Texas dealer license may use to reassign a vehicle. When a wholesaler uses it: when the title’s reassignment spaces are full, or after taking assignment from the owner even with spaces open. In that case you write “REASSIGNMENT ON” plus the form’s red control number in the next open reassignment on the title. (TxDMV RTB 011-15) Guide: Texas VTR-41-A dealer reassignment.
Form 14-313: Motor Vehicle Sales Tax Resale Certificate
What it is: the Comptroller’s resale certificate. A seller may accept it only from a dealer, and it must show the buyer’s dealer license. When a wholesaler uses it: on a dealer-to-dealer sale, so no motor vehicle tax is due on a used vehicle bought for resale. Keep it in the deal file. (Comptroller motor vehicle tax forms) Guide: Texas dealer-to-dealer sale paperwork.
Form 130-U: Application for Texas Title and/or Registration
What it is: the TxDMV title application, with instructions on Form VTR-130-UIF. When a wholesaler uses it: on a retail sale, not on a normal dealer-to-dealer reassignment. The dealer enters its GDN, files within 30 calendar days of the sale (45 days if seller-financed), and submits retail transactions through webDEALER first. (TxDMV Form 130-U; VTR-130-UIF; Dealer Manual) Guide: Texas Form 130-U dealer guide.
Form VTR-136: County of Title Issuance (obsolete)
What it was: the form a buyer used to tell the selling dealer which county should get the title application. Today: for vehicles sold on or after March 1, 2022, it is obsolete and the dealer chooses the processing county. It still matters only for vehicles sold before that date. (TxDMV RTB 001-22) Guide: Is Texas Form VTR-136 still required?
Odometer disclosure and bill of sale
What they are: the mileage recorded on the reassignment (unless the vehicle is exempt), and a bill of sale or purchase agreement identifying the VIN, both dealers, the date and the price. When a wholesaler uses them: on every dealer-to-dealer sale. Each dealer shows its current license number, and names must match the license. (TxDMV Motor Vehicle Dealer Manual) Guide: dealer-to-dealer paperwork checklist.
License, webDEALER and Record Keeping
The forms sit inside three rules every Texas wholesale dealer works under.
- Your GDN comes first. A Texas wholesale dealer needs a Wholesale Dealer GDN from TxDMV and may sell only to other licensed dealers, never to the public. (TxDMV Independent GDN page) Guide: how to get a Texas wholesale dealer license.
- webDEALER is mandatory. Since July 1, 2025, licensed Texas dealers must use TxDMV’s webDEALER to process title and registration for vehicle sales, and TxDMV added eTITLE to webDEALER for electronic title transfers between dealers. (TxDMV webDEALER page) Guide: Texas webDEALER for dealers.
- Keep every deal file for 48 months. Texas dealers must keep purchase and sale records for at least 48 months, with the preceding 13 months at the licensed location. Records can be electronic if you can print them there on request. (43 TAC §215.144) Guide: Texas dealer record-keeping requirements.

Texas Dealer Forms: FAQ
Quick answers for Texas wholesale dealers.
Is there software that auto-fills Texas title forms?
Yes, for some forms. In FoxDMS, the wholesale deal Documents menu prints Texas Form VTR-41-A today as an overlay on the secure form, using the vehicle and deal you already entered. FoxDMS leaves the control number blank, so you copy it from the secure form. Form 130-U is coming soon in FoxDMS. Retail title and registration still go through TxDMV webDEALER. Review every form before you file.
What forms does a Texas wholesale dealer need for a dealer-to-dealer sale?
Usually the title reassigned to the buying dealer (on the title itself or on Form VTR-41-A), a Form 14-313 resale certificate from the buying dealer, the odometer disclosure unless the vehicle is exempt, and a bill of sale or purchase agreement. Both dealers keep the records for 48 months. A dealer-to-dealer sale is usually a reassignment, not a Form 130-U title application.
When does a Texas dealer file Form 130-U?
On a retail sale. The dealer files Form 130-U with the assigned title and fees within 30 calendar days of the sale (45 days for a seller-financed sale), and GDN holders submit retail transactions through webDEALER first. Source: TxDMV Motor Vehicle Dealer Manual.
Is Texas Form VTR-136 still required?
Not for vehicles sold on or after March 1, 2022. TxDMV RTB 001-22 says Form VTR-136 is obsolete for those sales and the dealer chooses the processing county. For vehicles sold before that date, dealers still follow the purchaser's VTR-136 designation.
Does FoxDMS only work for Texas dealers?
No. FoxDMS serves wholesale and independent dealers across the United States. Texas forms are a bonus for dealers who handle Texas titles. FoxDMS runs in any web browser, including a phone's mobile browser. There is no native iPhone or Android app.
