homelesshartshorns Posted November 18, 2021 Report Share Posted November 18, 2021 Hoping someone can give me the skinny so I can understand how the process would go. I'm a Missouri resident with a Missouri car that is broke and Im in Texas! I would like to buy another junker from a private party here in Texas. In Missouri I just need the title with both our names on it and a bill of sale that will last me a month, I think.... My problem is I don't plan to go back to Missouri until next summer. Any experience or incite would be appreciated.....

jbh Posted November 18, 2021 Report Share Posted November 18, 2021 You can register it in Texas like I did if you have some sort of Texas address. You need title, bill of sale and Texas inspection. Then eventually you can transfer it all to Missouri. Quote -C&J- CG reviews & more - www.fugawetribe.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2gypsies Posted November 18, 2021 Report Share Posted November 18, 2021 I'd suggest stopping at or calling a nearby TX DMV office for the accurate information & also call your MO DMV to see how it's to be handled there to register it in MO.

2gypsies Posted November 18, 2021 Report Share Posted November 18, 2021 I just looked up Missouri's procedures of buying out-of-state.

jbh Posted November 19, 2021 Report Share Posted November 19, 2021 No, I wasn't a Texas resident. People routinely register vehicles in states they don't reside (domicile) in at their summer homes etc. I was renting a lot at a CG, which gave me a legal Texas address. It wouldn't work at a short-term place such as a state park. You can of course title and register the vehicle in Missouri while you're in Texas; you'll need to obtain or download and print the appropriate form and mail it, the title etc to Missouri. Missouri may require VIN confirmation by a Texas LEO. Quote -C&J- CG reviews & more - www.fugawetribe.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
