Ron & Linda R Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 Looking for understanding how I can buy ourselves a tow vehicle when we are not in TX? I heard something about self certifying the vehicle? How soon after buying a car will we be required to return to Texas to complete the normal inspection registration process?

Kirk W Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 I suggest that you call the Livingston office and talk with them as they will be very helpful and give you correct information.

Hollardawg Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 I bought my truck out of state, in New Mexico, and informed the dealer, that as a resident of Texas, I wanted it titled and registered in Texas. They collected Texas sales tax and contacted a company who takes care of out of state registrations. Everything was taken care of without a hitch.

rvnjudie Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 I bought a new Jeep this summer while I was in Colordo. Called the county clerk in Livingston and they told me how much the tax would be, paid it, they sent tags in mail (paper tags expired while I was waiting and I carried all papers in car just in case I got stopped.) When I got back to Texas, I had car inspected. Easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron & Linda R Posted February 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 Well thank you all great information. I will get in touch with the Livingston Motor Vehicle office. We are in Colorado till the spring when we have plans to visit with family in California B4 returning to Texas so do need to find out how long I can go B4 actually having to be back in Texas to get it properly registered and inspected. The MH registration expires in Nov 2015. We do have a family car here in Colorado but do need and want to get our own obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2gypsies Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 It sounds like you won't have a problem with registration as it expires Nov 2015. You don't have to have any inspection until you're actually in Texas and you have a short grace period of three days, I believe.
