  3. Complete a Bill of Sale: Some junkyards may ask you to complete a Bill of Sale, indicating the sale price and stating that you're selling the vehicle "as-is."
  4. Release of Liability: Submit a Release of Liability to the Lackland A F B, TX DMV to remove your liability for the vehicle once it's sold. You can do this online or by mailing the appropriate form.
