A motor vehicle title service or Power of Attorney may not be used to file this affidavit.

affidavit and must be unexpired.

Eligible Gift Transfers –
To qualify to be taxed as a gift ($10), a vehicle must be received from the following eligible parties:
• spouse (separate property only–vehicles held as community property are not subject to the tax);
• parent or stepparent;
• father/mother-in-law or son/daughter-in-law;
• grandparent/grandparent-in-law or grandchild/grandchild-in-law;
• child or stepchild;
• sibling/brother-in-law/sister-in-law;
• guardian;
• decedent’s estate (inherited); or
• a nonprofit service organization qualifying under Section 501(c)(3), IRC (gift tax applies when the entity is either
the donor or recipient).
A motor vehicle received outside of Texas from an eligible donor may also qualify as a gift when brought into Texas.
All other motor vehicle transfers, including those made without payment of consideration, are defined as sales and may
be subject to Standard Presumptive Value (SPV) procedures. See Tax Code Sec. 152.0412, Standard Presumptive
Value; Use By Tax Assessor-Collector and Rule 3.79, Standard Presumptive Value.
Documenting Additional Eligible Donor Relationships –
The Parent/Stepparent check box applies also to a Father/Mother-in-Law gift; the Child/Stepchild check box applies also
to a Son/Daughter-in-Law gift; the Sibling check box applies also to a Brother/Sister-in-Law gift; and the Grandparent
check box applies also to a Grandparent-in-Law gift.
When and Where to File –
At time of title transfer with the County Tax Assessor-Collector. Do not send the completed form to the Comptroller of
Public Accounts.
Documents Required –
In addition to completing Application For Texas Certificate of Title, Form 130-U, both the donor and person receiving
the vehicle must complete Form 14-317, Affidavit of motor Vehicle Gift Transfer, describing the transaction and the
relationship between the donor and recipient.The county TAC or staff member may acknowledge the donor or recipient’s
signature in lieu of formal notarization, provided that the person whose signature is being acknowledged is present and
signs the affidavit in front of the county TAC or staff member. A notary from another state may notarize this document. A
faxed copy is acceptable documentation for one of the qualified parties.
If the gift transfer is the result of an inheritance, the executor should sign the gift affidavit as “donor.” If the transfer is
completed using an Affidavit of Heirship for a motor Vehicle (TxDMV-VTR262), only one heir is required to sign as donor.
When there are multiple donors or recipients signing, additional copies of Form 14-317 should be used to document
signatures and notary acknowledgements.
