Look up “Save the Texas dune buggy, sandrail, and kit car” group on Facebook. Big changes just came into play and there now is a process.
Just joined. After reading a bit it looks like Texas went through a period starting in 2017 when the DMV started to revoke titles on home builds. Insane that you could put in a life times work into a build and have it nulled just like that.
But apparently just recently starting last month, they have a process to get it titled again with inspections, etc.
I haven't been able to find an answer to how to title a locost that is already registered in a different state but I am guessing you may have to go thru the texas process all over again.
If that's the case, I'm going to have forgo the sb100 process in Cali and trailer a non-registered car across the country to Texas and then start the process there. Kind of annoying. If I ship the car it'll add $1200 to my budget. Kind of ironic that I just bought the unfinished roller from Texas and I may have to move and ship it back in a few years.
Also ironic that cali is fairly strict about cars and smog but they are super lax about sb100 and kit cars but texas where most things are lax like headers, smog, they have a weird stance against kit cars.
