Selling a flood damage snowmobile in Texas
When selling a flood damage snowmobile through a private party sale in Texas, a bill of sale protects both the buyer and seller by documenting the transaction details and the vehicle's condition at the time of sale.
Legal considerations for flood damage vehicles in Texas
Texas requires a "Water Damaged" brand on the title for any vehicle that has sustained flood damage. The seller must disclose the water damage history on the title and in the bill of sale. Texas Transportation Code mandates this disclosure regardless of the extent of repairs.
Required disclosures
Texas Transportation Code Section 501.09113 requires disclosure of water damage on the title and in all sales documentation.
