Is Texas auto registration just the stickers in the window or also a registration paper?
Q. We've moved from Texas to Oklahoma, and lost the registration to our truck.(2005 ford F150) They won't register it here without the registration, and Texas won't print a duplicate because it's expired, (about 18 months ago). We can't renew it in Texas, because we have to do it in person, and that's not an option. What the HECK are we supposed to do? Is the window registration sticker the same as having the registration on paper? Also, we don't have the title because it's a lien. Texas doesn't release the title until the lien is paid.
Asked by jezuzgirl - Tue Jul 15 16:59:42 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. You don't have a whole lot of choices. Option 1. Park it until it's paid for, and you have the title, then get it transferred to Oklahoma and registered. Option 2. Go to the closest court house in Texas and pay for your past due registration, bringing it up to date. No, the sticker is not the same as the paper registration card. Added: Also don't drive it with expired registration, or you are likely to get it impounded, adding to your costs and problems.

How is the Texas Longhorns playing the Oklahoma Sooners in Dallas, Texas considered a nuetral site?
Q. If Texas gets to play in the State of Texas that seems like an unfair advantage.
Asked by maevansjr - Sun Nov 30 09:46:19 2008 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It's when they split the tickets between the 2 schools. If half the stadium is filled with Oklahoma fans and half is filled with Texas fans it is equal in terms of fans of both. It's done to give each team equal support and it keeps the team who plays in that state from having a home crowd advantage. The game between Georgia and Florida in Jacksonville, Florida is the same. The stadiums in both situations are considered the best sites for the annual rivalries.

How do i become a Texas resident for college purposes?

Asked by Paul B - Wed Aug 12 19:54:55 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The only way to be certain is to ask the school you're applying to what their rules are. In my experience, you have to live in the state for one year, and you can't be dependent on parents who live out-of-state. If you're under 23 or 24 (I forget which), they'll consider you a dependent. I would call the admissions office and ask for a detailed explanation of the rules and what they require from you in order to get in-state tuition. BTW, also depending on the school, certain scholarships or on-campus jobs may entitle you to in-state or otherwise reduced tuition and fees. Ask if there are any opportunities to reduce the cost of tuition at your school.

Registered for Texas sales tax, do I have to charge for private transactions?
Q. I am registered for sales tax in Texas for a small mail order retail business. Am I obliged to charge and pay sales tax for sales I make which are not part of this business, for example, reselling my own household items on ebay or craigslist? In theory should every private person making these kind of sales be charging and paying sales tax? I know most people do not.
Asked by texas buyer and seller - Sat Jan 19 09:03:51 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. If you are selling your personal items, Texas proabaly has a casual sale rule regarding sales tax. However, you better keep your business accounts and your personal accounts separate. If you start comingling funds, if/when you get audited, you will have a lot of explaining to do.

What advantages are there living in Texas versus living in Oklahoma?
Q. We're thinking about moving to Texas (close to Decatur). It may be one year or five years, but we're still planning on it. The only thing I know is that Texas has no state income tax.

My suggestion would be to go to the hill country around New Braunfels. It's really pretty up there and the rivers (Guadalupe, Comal) are like right in your back yard.

What is the Texas law on accessing and reading another person's email without their consent?
Q. Can anyone point me to any websites where I can read up on the Texas law regarding accessing and reading another person's personal email without their permission? The email was not associated with work, just a personal hotmail or yahoo account. The person who did this did not have permission to access the account at anytime and was never given the login in or password. They also did not access the account for any monetary reasons. It appears they read the emails just to read the emails. This person also does not live in my house so the account was accessed from a different location, possibly their home. What legal rights do I have regarding this matter?

How do I incorporate myself in Texas without a lawyer?
Q. I recently spent $500 on the services of an attorney to incorporate myself in the state of Texas. In addition to that, I also paid the $300 state filing fee for a total of $800.

A. As an insurance adjuster I have handled many claims like this (including Texas in the early 90's). I have never worked for an insurance company where we were allowed to deny a claim based on theft without having a valid theft report on file with the Police Dept. If there is no official theft report then I would dispute the denial. A denial of payment to you is legit if there is a police theft report on file. In some cities the theft report is separate from the accident report. Since your property was damaged you should have the right to know if there was a theft report filed. If you haven't already done so call the local police and ask them. You always have the choice of using your own homeowners coverage but then you have that pesky… [cont.]

Q. Choices are 1 West Texas such as El Paso or Midland area 2 Central Southern Texas/Hill Country like Austin or San Antonio or Marble Falls or 3 East Texas like Tyler or Longview area. I've already been to all these places and already know the West is very dry and the East more wet.
Asked by tlw - Sun Sep 27 04:53:31 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. West Texas is much flatter, drier and does not have as much vegatation. East Texas has the piny woods, is very humid and has a large amount of vegetation. The hill country is pretty much just like it sounds -- hilly and is otherwise sort of the transition area between east and west texas. All 3 have plenty of rural or city areas in which to live: Midland/Odessa, Lubbock, El Paso out West; Tyler/Longview, Nacogdoches/Lufkin, Beaumont/Pt. Arthur or even Houston in the East. The central area down the I-35 corridor is probably the most metropolitan (outside of Houston) with D/FW, Austin & San Antonio.
