A gorgeous blue unrestricted Texas Title showed up today!!! EDIT, it does have a notation that it is a bonded title, in three years I am supposed to be automatically issued a clear title.

This is what I needed so far to get a bonded Texas title. FIRST step, when going to the regional DMV office you will need the following. A bottle of Pepto-Bismol, a few packets of Plop Plop Fiz Fiz and possibly a chill pill or two.. A check for $15 payable to the TXDMV VTR-130-SOF, Bonded...

I happened to be in Beeville at the store when the tax office left me a voice mail saying I had forgot to date the surety bond, I was literally across the street from the tax office, by the time I got there it was 12:07 and the office was closed, one of the ladies pulling out of the parking lot...

$40 VIN verification $20 weight ticket $15 Regional DMV title application fee $135 surety bond for 9K (1.5X the appraised value) $13 title application fee $15 terp title fee?? $375 sales tax $37.50 sales tax penalty (for being more than 30 days from purchase, no credit for jumping through hoops...

Went down to the CAT scales today, rolled the FAV off the trailer and onto the scales, since it weighs less than 2000lb the CAT scale would not print a ticket. Of course there is more than one way to skin a cat,, So we weighed the truck/trailer empty and then with the FAV on it, the FAV weighs...

GOOD NEWS! I got a call this morning from DMV that I would need a weight ticket. New tires should be delivered today for my 18' trailer which will be easier to load and costs less than the other gooseneck trailer to tow., even less because I can tow it behind my 1/2 ton. I was looking and two of...

Well,,, The bond was super easy, but when I got to the tax office they told me I needed a weight ticket, THEN they backed up and said they were going to have to send a picture to AUSTIN and get the vehicle classified, I told them that Corpus Christi DMV had already done that. In CC they said it...

The DMV changed their mind, emailed me this morning and said an appraisal would be needed, so I got one, went down to CC again and finished that part, I now have to go and get a surety bond, I looked around for someone local and of all things due to a suggestion I checked with the ins. company...

Boy this venture is taking some turns and twists! So I did not hear from the CC DMV all last week so I decided a visit was in order, I show up at the "transportation complex" which houses Greyhound, the local transportation authority terminals/offices and of course the regional TX DMV office...

Well that was a waste of good diesel, went down to the DVM in Corpus this morning, they received the picture I sent them Friday but chose to ignore my request that they acknowledge that they received it! Waiting on Austin to classify the FAV, fingers crossed as they could give me a clear title...

It would be more accurate to say it is a production sand rail built to Baja 1000 race standards PLUS the addition of a lighter/stronger chrome moly chassis instead of the normal DOM,. And it was in service with the Army So no not your basic VW dune buggy.

Actually they were also waiting for me to email a picture to them before forwarding the paperwork to Austin, I asked that I get a confirmation that they received the picture, no confirmation so I will try and make another appt. (can only make an appt for that or the following two days so I will...

They copied all my paperwork and sent it to Austin for classification, waiting on a response. REALLY nice folks!!

I have an appt in Corpus at the TxDVM to morrow at 9:45AM, fingers crossed!!

The trailer is another story, my trailer had farm tags and they were expired, I did not want to tempt fate by using a trailer with farm tags. So I borrowed a trailer from the little diesel shop just down the road, as I was loading it up yesterday afternoon I noticed the tag was out on that...

I did not want to comment before and jinks the process. When I found out the Beeville PD did the VIN verification in Bee county I felt much better, sometimes a DPS officer can be a total wild card. THEN I found out who the officer was and felt even better, he is also a vol. fireman which means...

I have an appt. with the Beeville PD for a VIN verification next Thursday, fingers crossed..
