Make out the bill of sale to whoever he wants and also put that info on the title you signed. There should be a spot for the new owner's info on the title. Just signing your name accomplished nothing. You want the car out of your name. Make copies and send in what you need to to the DMV in Texas. Do your homework on the link that was posted and do it the right way. Good luck. Make copies, even of the new buyer's driver's license. The sales amount and sales tax is small potatoes and irrelevant. Get the car out of your name.
In Ca we also have a form called "Release of Liability". Same info as the title, but it protects you in case the new owner just sits on it and never re-registers it.

I contacted the buyer today. He now says I don't need to do anything else. I guess with having the title signed I'm squared away. He didn't respond to anything else. I will move on now........
