Texas Official Affidavit Forms

Three Texas forms are the most widely used for vehicle and real estate matters. Each one has its own page on FormsPal, so you can open the form that fits your situation and fill it in online. The forms are Form DL-90B, Form VTR-264 and Form T-47.

Texas Driver Education Affidavit (DL-90B) verifies that a student has completed the required education before obtaining a Texas driver’s license. This form is typically used by students who completed the classroom portion of driver education through a commercial driving school or parent-taught driver education program. Form DL-90B requires the student’s personal information and information about the education program, such as the course number and the completion date.

Texas Repossession Affidavit (VTR-264) certifies that a repossession has occurred following Texas law. A creditor, such as a bank or a lending institution, typically uses the form after taking possession of a vehicle or other property because the debtor stopped paying. This affidavit requires the lender to provide detailed information about the vehicle, the borrower, and the reasons for the repossession.

Texas Residential Property Affidavit (T-47) is used in real estate transactions to certify that the information provided on a deed or other property transfer documents is accurate. This form is typically used when a property is being sold or refinanced. The affidavit requires the signature of the seller and the buyer and any other required information, such as the names of all parties involved in the transaction. This document is essential for verifying that all parties involved in the transaction have provided accurate and truthful information.

How to Choose the Right Texas Affidavit Form

Start with what you need the sworn statement for. Each of the three forms above fits a different situation, so picking the matching one saves you from filling in a form that does not apply. If your situation is different, start with a general affidavit or browse the other affidavit forms on FormsPal.
