Learned the extra step the hard way when lady I sold vehicle to decided to skip toll in Dallas. I was on the hook until that notice was done.

I am dealing with just such an issue right now. Two years ago I sold one of our old trucks to an employee who was leaving us. I simply signed the title over to him. Dumb move on my part. He jerked around about completing the transfer for almost a year. meanwhile he was running up tolls. I did not know about the online vehicle transfer notification. That sure would have saved me some headaches. Thanks for the info.

Yeah, mine was to a friend of a friend who was in a real bind for a car. She was supposed to register it in Dallas once back home. That's was all fine, but the State knows nothing until they get notification of a title transfer. All toll runs go back against the plate and the person of record on title at that time. One simple notice from me, online, would have saved me over $200 of tolls/fines after they tracked me down. Still would have ignored but then they threatened to tie it all to my ability to register my current vehicles.

If I ever do a private party sale on vehicle, I am going to require the buyer meet me at tax office. It's not required, but depending on the luck of the draw on counter help, you may or may not get it all done in one trip. Take your insurance.
