Forgot to remove the plates and now the buyer has been running through tolls left and right. Since 5 mins after I sold the car he has not been returning my calls or texts to meet me to give them back. What's the best way to report these out of my possession/stolen so there is hopefully a blanket notification to all state authorities and toll plazas?

To protect yourself, file a Vehicle Transfer Notification. When a vehicle transfer notification is received, TxDMV updates the motor vehicle record to show the vehicle as sold. When you file the notification within 30 days from the date of sale, you cannot be held responsible for parking tickets and toll violations that have been committed by the person who purchased the vehicle.

I had to fight Harris County toll authority on this exact issue once. I won because i had filled out the state notification form and showed them proof of payment from buyer (bank statement) verifying the date sold.

Do you have a bill of sale?
