Three steps for VTR-130-ND

1Wait for TxDMV to issue it

The Notice of Determination is not a form you create before review.

2Use the amount exactly

The notice is the bond-amount source; do not substitute your own valuation.

3Match the bond to the notice

Applicant name, VIN, vehicle description, and amount should line up before submission.

Who fills it out

TxDMV issues or completes the determination after review.

Who signs it

The official determination comes from TxDMV, not the applicant.

Where it is submitted

Use the notice to buy the required bond, then include the bond in the title application packet.

Common mistakes

  • Buying a bond before the notice exists.
  • Using a bond amount different from the notice.
  • Changing the applicant or vehicle details between notice and bond.

If VTR-130-ND is rejected

Get the reject reason precise enough to fix the next version. Ask:

Was the problem the form version, a blank field, the wrong signer, a VIN/name mismatch, missing title evidence, missing lien release, or the odometer disclosure?
