Will Selling a Co-Owned Car Affect Medicaid Long-Term Care?

No. But it’s not clear whether this is your car or your husband’s. If it’s your car, you do not need to inform the Texas Medicaid agency about the transaction. If it’s your husband’s car, you will have to inform the agency and they may require that the $800 be paid toward his cost of care.
