Title Revocation Affidavit for a First Sale
Information
This form may only be used to revoke the title application for a vehicle subject to a first sale on a manufacturer’s certificate of
origin (MCO). The affidavit must be completed and postal date stamped no later than 90 days after the date of sale.
Typically, a Texas title issues on the 7
th
calendar day following county processing. If the Texas Certificate of Title is issued prior to
the department receiving and/or processing this affidavit, the dealership will be responsible for obtaining and submitting the
original Texas Certificate of Title before the record will be revoked. However, if the Texas title is an electronic title held by a
lienholder, the lienholder is not required to release the title to the dealership.
If the vehicle was in the possession of the purchaser(s) after the sale, the revocation facilitated by this form does not negate the
fact that the vehicle has been subject to a previous retail sale. A vehicle subject to a first sale may have implications on peripheral
items related to the vehicle such as retail value and manufacturer’s warranties.
