Back when I lived in Missouri, they changed the title law where all I had to do was walk in there with a bill of sale, NOT even notorized. But they changed their law back to where not it is bad they say.
Last old classic I bought a few months ago, seller had a title but for another car!!! ha. But this year Tx. stopped the state inspection (unless in a Dem smog city!). So now, a tag is a tag!!!!!
