Records a second and third lien on a Texas title. The Form 130-U has room for one lienholder; when a vehicle carries more than one, this goes with it. It is the buyer’s form, filed with their own title application - a seller meets it only when the person buying their car is financing through more than one lender.
Written against VTR-267 (Rev 08/16), issued under Texas Transportation Code 501.113.
If you are selling a car and the buyer is arranging more than one loan against it, this form is theirs to file and not yours. Your job stays the same: get every existing lien on your own title released before you sign it over.
Two documents, and they are not the same thing. Take the blank VTR-267 from the txdmv.gov copy so you get the revision that is current today, then print our VTR-267 guide and keep it beside you while you fill theirs in.
This is the actual VTR-267, rendered from the PDF the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles publishes and completed end to end: letterhead, every field, and the blocks at the foot.
Amber — you write it
Grey — not yours to fill
Numbered — explained below
The real VTR-267, filled in by the buyer from our other Texas pages as she finances the truck she has just bought. The third-lien block stays empty - the form takes two extra liens and there is no obligation to use both.
Field by field
Every line, in the order you meet it
1
The buyer fills this in
Vehicle information
VIN, year, make, body style and model, matching the Form 130-U it travels with.
Watch out: Any mismatch between this and the 130-U sends both back.
2
The buyer fills this in
Second lien
Lien date, lienholder name, certified lienholder ID number and mailing address.
Watch out: The lien date is the date of the security agreement, not the date you fill this in.
3
The buyer fills this in
Third lien
The same block again, if there is a third lender.
Watch out: Leave it blank if there is not. An empty block is not a defect.
4
The buyer fills this in
Sign and date
Signature, printed name and date for the applicant, and a second row if the title will carry two owners.
Watch out: The printed name has to match the signature - the form asks for it in those words.

What gets this one rejected
•Filing it on its own. The form says it must be submitted with the Application for Texas Title and/or Registration (Form 130-U).
•Putting the first lien on it. The first lienholder goes on the 130-U; this form starts at the second.
•Mixing it with an electronic lien. The instruction is explicit: more than one lien cannot be recorded in combination with an electronic lien.
•Leaving the certified lienholder ID number blank when the lender has one.
Rules that decide whether it is accepted
•More than one lien means a paper title. Stated on the form: if more than one lien is recorded, a paper title will be issued to the first lienholder listed on the Form 130-U. That matters to whoever eventually sells the car, because a paper title has to be physically produced.
•Two extra liens is the limit on this sheet. Second and third. Anything beyond that is a conversation with the county rather than a form.
•The applicant signs, not the lender. Unlike a lien release, this is signed by the person applying for title. The lenders are named, not signatories.
Every line here was read off VTR-267 (Rev 08/16) itself — the PDF is here — and off the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles pages.
This is plain-language help with a form, not legal advice, and where our wording and the agency's differ,
theirs governs.
