How selling works in Houston
- Get the offer. Tell the buyer about the car — year, make, model, mileage, condition. The offer is free and carries no obligation.
- Accept and schedule. Pickups in Houston are usually scheduled within 24–48 hours, at your home or work.
- Get paid at pickup. The driver confirms the car matches its description, you sign the title, and you are paid before the car leaves.
Texas title rules for sellers
In Texas, you sign the back of the title over to the buyer and the buyer files Form 130-U with the county tax office. As the seller, file the free Vehicle Transfer Notification with TxDMV within 30 days — it protects you from tickets and tolls after the sale. Texas does not require notarization for a standard title transfer.

What changes your offer in Houston
- Running or not: a drivable car almost always beats a non-runner — describe it honestly and the offer holds at pickup.
- Title in hand: a title in your name gets the fastest, highest offers in Texas.
- Damage and mileage: accident history and very high mileage lower offers; missing parts lower them more.
- Local demand: trucks and SUVs tend to draw stronger bids across Texas than sedans of the same age.

Houston seller questions
Do I need the title to sell a junk car in Houston?
In most cases, yes — a title in your name is the standard proof of ownership in Texas. If yours is lost, order a duplicate before selling; it is faster than trying to sell without one. Our Texas title guide below explains the exact steps.
How fast is pickup in Houston?
Most accepted offers in the Houston metro — including Katy, Pasadena, Sugar Land, The Woodlands, Baytown — are picked up within 1–2 business days, and towing is free either way.
Will a buyer take a car that doesn't run?
Yes. Non-running, wrecked and high-mileage cars are bought every day in Houston — the offer reflects parts and scrap value instead of resale value.
When do I get paid?
At pickup, after the quick condition check and title signing. Never hand over the keys or the title before payment is in hand.
