What should I do after I sell my car in Houston?

Remove your plates, file a transfer notification with the Texas DMV, and cancel the car insurance and registration. Keep a copy of the signed title or bill of sale so you are not liable for the car after it is gone.

The sale is not fully done until you protect yourself from future liability. In Texas, notify the DMV that you no longer own the car, then cancel insurance and registration and pull your plates. Hang on to a copy of the signed title or bill of sale; Speedy's Cash For Cars signs the paperwork with you at pickup so the handoff is clean, and you can confirm the exact steps with the Texas DMV.
