State notes
Rules for this document change from state to state. Choose your state in the form above, or read the short notes below for the states where this document is prepared most often.
California
California uses form REG 135 for vehicle bills of sale, signed by buyer and seller. A Los Angeles buyer submits it with the title to the DMV. A smog check usually accompanies the private sale.
Texas
Texas bills of sale should list the VIN, odometer, and sale price for the title. A Houston buyer submits it to the county tax office. Notarization is not mandatory.
Scope and deliverables
Define the consulting scope so the client knows what advice or output to expect. A tight scope keeps the engagement on track and billable.
Rate, expenses, and IP
State the rate and whether expenses are rebilled. Decide who owns the work product; assign it to the client in writing if that is the intent.
Common uses
Hourly strategy help
A consultant agrees to weekly strategy calls at an hourly rate, with the client billed monthly and expenses itemized.
