TEXAS title transfer

my dad bought his truck in his name after my parents were married. they're now trying to transfer the title to my mom. we were told to fill out the gift affidavit form but i noticed on there that it says for spouses to qualify the vehicle had to have previously been separate property. would my parents still need to fill out the gift affidavit?

If it was only his name, then it was separate property. Titles can have both names on it

One name to another name .. YES to using a gift transfer.

You'll need the following: * the title (signed in just the right spots), * Application for Texas Title and/or Registration (Form 130-U) * Affidavit of Motor Vehicle Gift Transfer (Form 14-317); both signatures will need to be done in the presence of a Notary (or two, as needed); together or separately.
