Selling a junk personal watercraft in Texas
When selling a junk personal watercraft 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 junk vehicles in Texas
Texas issues a Certificate of Authority to Dispose of a Motor Vehicle for junk vehicles. Form VTR-71-2 must be submitted to TxDMV. A junk title in Texas means the vehicle is valued only for its scrap metal or parts.
Required disclosures
Texas Transportation Code Section 501.091 requires disclosure of a junk vehicle designation. The bill of sale must clearly state the vehicle is sold for scrap or parts only.
