If he is here for AIT he's living in the barracks anyway and cant have one there.

For those trying to get your DL wait until you see the fees from registering a car here that was bought and registered in another state, its ridiculous.

He's moved on to a job on DC, but he was living in barracks and couldn't have any guns there, but nothing says he can't have them off-post, which is what he did.

When i got out of the Army and came back to Texas I had to pay the taxes for the vehicle (since it was going to be used int Texas) plus Texas registration cost and a $200 fee for it coming from out of state.

yeah, this is going off the top of my head, but was told $90 use fee. registration dont remember it was like three different fees. but the total they gave me was either $240 or $280. i just did my vehicle inspection, waiting on my texas insurance card to come in the mail. i dont know what tx liability is, but my coverage is always 100k/300k/100k as i find this covers me the most for anything.

Those insurance limits will easily meet the TX requirements.

A non-resident alien cannot purchase or lease a gun. A RESIDENT alien, green card holder, may. -naturalized citizen here.

But yes, there is a 90 day proof of residency requirement for non-citizens.

I ended up paying 190 for the title/registration/plates and 25 for the DL today. Still cheaper than the annual registration on my pickup in CA.

When i transfered mine from Tn to Tx it cost me over $300.

Sounds about like my day today. Dont think you need the notary if the tax office folks are witness to the mark. Bring the other party in, if possible. I overherd this while I was at the tax office today from the folks infront of me. Good luck bud.

There's an easier way. Get a "Limited Power of Attorney" from the Tax Office (or download online). It essentially names you as the owners' agent in all matters pertaining to the vehicle, allowing you to sign any additional documents/forms/whatever pertaining to the transaction. The pencil-pushers HATE 'em because it takes away their "power" to make you return - the pros at the Tax Office will applaud you.

so, it took me all of 10 minutes to get my truck registered. went to dps to get a DL, after waiting two hours to get to the front desk, i was told i needed a birth cert or passport, UGH. debating on going back to scout out the line/parking. was so close, yet so far away lol.

 

[shooterfpga]

um, so i went back again. and another 2 hour wait, got locked in. well, in a rush to get out of there, i didnt look at my temp DL. sex is marked as "F".....seriously major fail, im sure the guy was in a hurry to get home too, just as i was. now i have to call dps tomorrow, and hopefully they can change it over the phone and not make me go back there.

 

[M. Sage]

Just make sure they understand that you're pre-op!

 

[TexasRedneck]

. sex is marked as "F".....

It's okay.......

Seriously? In Florida you get them before you walk out of the DMV. I still don't understand why Texas can't issue them on the spot like most states...
