   I just purchased a car and my existing insurance covers me for 30 days. Will TexasSure delay processing of the title application until I notify my insurance company and my records are updated?

No. If you present a valid proof of insurance card when submitting the title application, the title will be processed without delay.  Back

   I have sold my vehicle / no longer own it. Do I need to contact anyone to let them know?

Yes. If you have sold your vehicle or no longer own it, you need to protect yourself by submitting a VTR Form-346 or vehicle transfer notification to the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles within 30 days of the sale date. You can find the form at www.TxDMV.gov.

You need to submit the vehicle transfer notification whether you sold or traded in your vehicle. When you do this within 30 days, you are not held responsible for parking tickets, toll charges and other violations associated with the vehicle after the date of sale.

Also, be sure to notify your insurance company that you no longer own the vehicle. Back

   I am leasing a vehicle and the leasing company is listed as the owner. How will TexasSure verify that I have my own insurance when I go to renew my vehicle registration?

If you, as lessee, are listed in motor vehicle records as the recipient for registration renewal notices, TexasSure should be able to verify your insurance. However, in cases where it cannot, you can still renew your vehicle registration by presenting your valid proof of insurance card. Back
