At the request of one of your regular forum members here is the most current information for registering my car in Texas:
First you must attain your VIN# from a regional office. You will need:
1) VTR-68-A form signed by your local law enforcement vehicle theft division. I recommend finding the Engine, Transalxe and FFR frame number in advance and be ready to show the officer where they are. I removed my diffuser and some of the engine aluminum to make it easy on them. These numbers need to correspond to a sales receipts. Your regional office can give you a phone number to a regional theft office or if your local city police department has a vehicle theft division you can use them.
2) Receipts from FFR, Engine, and Transaxle
3) Picture
4) $2.00
They will issue a VIN# and a sheet describing where to die stamp the number on your frame. You will need this sheet at your local registration office. (If the regional office is not in your County then you have to go to your county office to complete the final step).
Second, go to your County inspection station and get the safety inspection done.
1)They will sign it off at the same time providing you with a registration sticker.
2)You will need a copy of your insurance for this step. I called my insurance agent right after I received my VIN# and they were able to add it to the policy and print me out a insurance card.
Third, Take all paperwork to your County Registration office
They will need:
1) Vin # Sheet
2) Builders Affidavit showing all serial numbers and where parts came from
3) Title Application
4) Safety Inspection Report
5) Pencil Tracing of Frame, Engine, and Transaxle number
6) FFR Certicate of Origin
7) Proof of Insurance
8) Picture
9) Patience - These ladies do not do this every day and mine had to call someone in another office 3 or 4 times to verify things. I was there over an hour.
