Unless there's been some recent changes, I think Texas is like in Louisiana. If it has light, turn signals and a horn they will tag it. Make sure the MCO states "Motorcycle" and not dirt bike. Go to a Notary/tag shop and not the DMV.

Yeah they turned me down. I'm not gonna give up. The MCO says dirt bike. I'll get it worked out. May just have to title as off highway vehicle 1st, then go the "modified" route and file for title correction to register.

Interesting that Texas seems to be cracking down somewhat. With RPS headquartered there, for years, it seemed like a no-brainer; run down to a Manny dealership, and ride out with a new Hawk.

Ask the dealer to send you a MCO stating Motorcycle.

I got it worked out. Dealt with the DMV directly and they contacted my county tax assessor. Orion Powersports was the dealer and they were 0 help. Won't be purchasing from them again.

I know they are cracking down big time with paper tags and the dealers that print them. I'm assuming you were working with your dealer instead of the DMV?
