Private Car Sales in Hood County Come With a 30-Day Title Clock

Buying a car from a neighbor is different from buying at a dealership. Texas gives the buyer 30 days from the sale date to put the title in their name. Hood County title transfers go through the tax office at 1410 W. Pearl St. in Granbury.

TxDMV says the seller should go with the buyer when possible, so the title application is filed and the seller is no longer tied to the vehicle. Bring the signed title and Form 130-U. Late transfers can bring penalties, and payment rules vary by county office, so call 817-579-3295 before you drive over.
