  • Buying and Selling > Dealers And Salesperson > Car Dealers License

  Dealers License Requirements for Auto Sales by State The definition of a car dealer is different in every state. In some states, such as Indiana, you can sell up to 12 cars per calendar year before you qualify as a dealer, while in other states, such as Oregon, car dealers are anyone selling cars - including used cars and new cars - for profit, regardless of the number sold.

• Do I need auto insurance to apply for a TX drivers license?

  • Drivers License > New Renewal Duplicate > Drivers 18 and Older

Simply put, whoever owns the vehicle must have financial responsibility for it and you must show the TX DPS examiner proof of that financial responsibility.
