Tips on Buying Cars: tx title question?, title question, signature

Question
Hi,



I bought a car about a year ago, and never transferred the title in my name (I know.. I know)

The car has the original owners and mines signature on the back of the title, but technically it is not officially transferred.



Can I still sell this car and allow someone else to have the title transferred without me having to register the title in my name?? i live in texas.

When the owners originally signed their names to transfer me as the new buyer they wrote my name and everything on there, and its in ink so how would i go about adding a new person on there since my name is already there? they didnt write a date.



thank you!

Answer
Not sure how it works in Texas, but here in New York you wouldn't be able to sell the vehicle because you don't possess a title in your name.  You'd have to go to the state and get a new title in your name (which you can do because the previous owner signed the title), then use the new title to sell the vehicle.  Go to this website and see if there's any info you can use:
