A:
She should complete the Texas Motor Vehicle Transfer form located at: https://www.txdmv.gov/sites/default/files/form_files/VTR-346.pdf
and submit it to the Texas DMV.
You mention a " finance co." Obviously, if your granddaughter still owes money to a finance company based on a loan made to her, she will remain liable on that loan until she has paid it off and should do so immediately. Transferring a motor vehicle with a lien against it to another person is potentially a crime (e.g. hindering a secured creditor) as well as almost certainly being a breach of her loan agreement.
