There is a paper you can get at the tax office that transfers it out of your name and into his without him doing it.

Well all he has to do is put a date on the bill of sale as yesterday and your fucked.

But if you put a date on it like 3/7/2010 the cars still in your name and belongs to you.

But you should go to the DMV and fill out the paper work that the car is sold and has been for however long.

Because as of right now you owe the toll fees because the cars in your name.

I repo'ed a car years ago b/c the guy didn't pay me. I just walked up to him and asked for the keys. He gave them to me and a bunch of tools also.

I say if the car is still in your name, then it is still legally yours. You should be able to go get it, no questions asked.

if you look on the little tear off tab on any texas title (where your mailing address is) on the back of it there is a phone number you can call. this will take any responsibilities off of you after you sell a vehicle, like that toll road ticket.

Fill out the paper work, you can do it online. Then call the toll place, but wait for a few days after you filled out everything and they will send the bills to him. A guy on here I sold my old truck to did the same thing to me. He had about 20 bucks in charges and he wouldn't transfer title so I did it and called Txdot and had all the charges sent to him.

I had the same happen to me a few months back. A college kid bought my GTP and never transferred. I was getting parking tickets every day! I called the college where some where, and the city where the rest were and explained the situation. They just wanted the signed Bill of Sale faxed and his contact info (name, address, phone, etc whatever I could give them), and they dismissed them from my record and I guess went after him to collect on their own.

The d-bag that bought my Z06 ran up an 800 dollar toll bill and never transfered the title. I went to the courthouse and filled out the paper work, hopefully he had to pay taxes on the full amount I sold him the car for on top of the toll bills.

call the toll road authority on your own and get that car off of your account.

i had a little mishap with the corvette i just bought.

i transferred the title within 1 week of purchase, and then i just removed my old ez-tag and put it in the new car. well apparantly i damaged it because the previous owner was still getting bills for toll violations that were my fault.

the HC toll road authority didnt even check on the vehicles registration, its just that the plates were registered to the previous owner in THEIR SYSTEM, so they sent him the bill.

so even after you get the title issue sorted out, you need to be sure to contact the HCTRA and let them know as well or they wont check
