<< I registered my jeep in July... I took the title that was already in

since the plates had expired and paid for a 3 year Former MilitaryVehicle
registration. This registration requires the vehicle be only drivenon the
roadway
for public functions (parades, ets...) These vehicles don't requirelicence
plates if
their serial number is clearly painted in #'s of at least 2 inches.. theywill
require
a photo attached to the form that shows the #'s. The law requiresno
insurance
or inspection on the vehicle as long as it is used only for thepurpose
stated above..
if you want to drive it to work or the store to show it off an
officer"could" write you
a cite for the registration violation, no inspection and noinsurance if you
were not complying
with the Former Military Vehicle requirements. And may I suggestinsurance
is a
cheap smart investment (mine is through JC Taylor now for $77 a
year!including
liability and replacement) see: >>
OK Jess, understood, since I might be driving the Deuce from it purchase
point to my home. I would need title and registration for operating it on the
street. Looks like the MV plate won't do me any good for getting it home,
since this is for parade use etc....I wonder if there is a permit or
temporary tag that could be used for it's initial move? And what would you
license it as if you were going to consider it a "daily driver". I don't
think mine would me used for parades only.
Guess I will be making a trip to the TxDOT or the local Tax Assessor
Collectors office this week. I just know that sometimes different offices
read the law differently.
