No title/tags in Texas

I live in N.tx. Found used Hawk in OK that suited me. Paid cash received bike,Bill of sale, and MCO. First stop ins company. No problem. 2nd stop inspection paper. Good to go. Walk in Montague county tax office with MCO, Bill of sale,insurance card, inspection paper and Tx form 130U present and accounted for.
Whoa up there buddy! Tax lady says no can do. Tax lady calls regional office(Wichita Falls). Regional office says No way. I go home.
I call regional tax office. Nice lady sends request to the top of the food chain(Austin) and final answer is NO, Nyet,Nada, Not Now,Not Ever!
Reason given to me is manufacturer in top of MCO (Chongqing Haosen Motorcycle C., LTD) not on NTSHA list.
Call dealer on MCO (MSA Powersports). Am told "no problem. Come on down, bring fees, title/tags yours in couple weeks.
Now I'm more stupid than ever. Is dealer legit? Will title/tags be state issued? Or just money wasted(approx250-300 dollars estimated) in some scam?
I see other Tx posters have walked in county tax office and walked out with title/tags and a smile.
WHAT THE @#$%& IS GOING ON IN THIS STATE?!?!?
