Form VTR-17. Title Revocation Affidavit for a First Sale - Texas

The Form VTR-17 is used in Texas to submit a Title Revocation Affidavit for a First Sale. This form is necessary when there is a need to revoke or cancel the title of a vehicle that was sold for the first time but later determined to have issues that render it ineligible for registration or transfer.

The affidavit form consists of sections that require accurate completion, including details about the vehicle, the reasons for revocation, and any supporting documentation or evidence.

When filling out the Form VTR-17, it is important to:

• Provide accurate information about the vehicle, including the make, model, year, and identification number.
• Clearly state the reasons for revoking the title, such as undisclosed damages, mechanical issues, or fraudulent activity.
• Include any supporting documentation or evidence that substantiates the reasons for revocation.

This form is necessary to initiate the process of revoking the title of a vehicle that was sold for the first time under false pretenses or with undisclosed issues. It helps protect buyers from purchasing vehicles with significant problems and ensures the integrity of the title system.

An alternative form may be the Application for Correction of Title, which is used when there are minor errors or inconsistencies on a vehicle's title. The Form VTR-17, however, specifically focuses on the revocation of a title for a first sale.
