Transferring a Vehicle Title in Harrison County

Bought a truck off a neighbor or out of someone's front yard? Texas gives you 30 days from the date of sale to title it in your name, and that's done at the Harrison County Tax Office. The main counter is at 200 W. Houston, Suite 108, in Marshall, with branch offices in Hallsville and Waskom for folks on those ends of the county.

Watch the clock: title transfers and Parks & Wildlife transactions stop being processed before 4:30 each weekday in Marshall, and the branch offices cut off Friday afternoons earlier still. Roll in at 4:40 expecting to title a vehicle and you'll be coming back tomorrow.

For a clean private sale, the state suggests bringing the seller along to the counter so the title application gets filled out and signed correctly the first time. It saves chasing someone down later for a signature. The Marshall office number is 903-935-8411 if you want to confirm hours before you drive in.
