Great, just as I am trying to figure all this crAAp out here in Texas they are changing it! Tax office for plates, service station for safety inspection, TXDMV for title issues, TXDPS for driver's license and Texas Parks and Wildlife for boat registration. WTF TEXAS!!! I thought it was supposed to be better in Texas and not like all those other pu$$y Liberal States.

The way the picture has been painted outside of Texas is that everyone does what ever the F they want to all the while not paying taxes. Well that is not at all the case and bureaucracy is very much alive and well here in Texas.

Should been with me when I transferred my CDL to Texas... that was a dog and pony show that took all day. But the good news is I got it taken care of.

I am now off to try on some cowboy hats and boots for this year's Houston Rodeo.

I believe this is only required if the trailer is over 4500lbs. That would mean its a titled trailer. If your signature is up to date and you have a26 outlaw your trailer is not 4500lbs.

It is based of of "gross weight" and while an empty boat trailer may be below 4,500lbs, but with a loaded boat it is well above 4,500lbs. Our trailer is a Manning with a 10,000lbs gross weight and our old Heritage had a gross weight of 7,500lbs.

The trailer is inspected and it was not a big deal, just time consuming.

When I registered mine I told the lady my gross weight of my trailer, she smiled and said "Noooo I bet it's this weight that doesn't need an inspection." I told her I bet she's right and I was mistaken. Done deal.
