Selling a rebuilt heavy equipment in Texas
When selling a rebuilt heavy equipment 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 rebuilt vehicles in Texas
Texas issues a "Rebuilt Salvage" title after a salvage vehicle passes a DPS safety inspection and a TxDMV rebuilt vehicle inspection. Form VTR-61 must be submitted with photographs of the vehicle from multiple angles and receipts for all parts used.
Required disclosures
Texas Transportation Code Section 501.09116 requires disclosure of the rebuilt brand. The bill of sale must include the title brand and inspection results.
