I did two in Houston and was out in less than 20 minutes each time. The trick is going at a slow time, not during lunch.talltex wrote:Let me amend that...you can do all of it in a couple of hours if you are NOT moving into a metro area....out in the rural counties, you can be in and out of the tax office ( for license plates you go to the county tax assessor's office, not the county clerk's office) in 10 minutes with your plates in hand.

Re: Registering a Vehicle in Texas
That's probably true but he said in the first post that his plates expire in May. The whole point of doing it early is to avoid paying California for a whole year if he's moving to Texas soon.talltex wrote:You can do all of this in a couple of hours when you get here...no need to worry about it beforehand. As long as your plates are not expired and you still have a valid out of state license and proof of insurance you are unlikely to get a ticket whether it's within 90 days or not.

I would rather not pay fees to California in May for a year's registration, plus smog check, only to move to Texas the next month and pay all over again. From what I read on the websites, to register in Texas the car must be inspected, in Texas. Is this correct? Any exceptions, etc?
