Usually the Texas title in your name, a photo ID, and the keys. No title? Some cases allow registration plus ID, or you can order a duplicate from the Texas DMV — Speedy's Cash For Cars can tell you what works before pickup.

For most Houston sales you'll need the title signed over in person, a valid photo ID, and the keys. If there's a lien, bring the lender name and payoff; if the title's missing, a Texas DMV duplicate is the cleanest fix. Don't sign the title until you are paid and the buyer is present — Speedy's Cash For Cars completes the paperwork at pickup.
