Find a friend in Collin County and register it there. Collin doesn't enforce the holds. However it is a short term solution to a long term problem. The hold must be on the VIN. The plates can be tossed and new plates taken at tie of registration.

First I have heard of this


This may help explain it

I think they closed that loophole, Last time I was in Frisco City Hall to get tags, I think I saw a sign said you must live in Collin county to register there. Not a 100% sure, but pretty sure.

While I agree "Mary" being the new owner and not the habitual offender shouldn't be held responsible for past fees............What a great scam... I mean if your non-married "significant" other runs up a big tab then just come up with a bill of sale showing you as the new owner, sign title over, get it registered and avoid all fees.

Sounds like a form or theft.

I would be more than happy to help apprehend said person if I was stuck in her position.

I agree with you that it would be a great scam, but...It would be nice if $3,500 in fees wasn't mostly not tolls, but absurd fines for not paying. I bet of that $3,500 in fees, a few hundred or less are actual tolls. Talk about a great scam.

I did not read all the responses but why did she wait 5 years to try to register the car?

I think you go to the TxTag office and show proof of ownership. I would think you should not have to pay for fees from before the car was sold. I've run into the opposite. I sold a used car and had tolls sent to me. I filled out a form showing I sold the car and the date and never heard back from them. I don't know if it works in reverse but it should.

If you would sign over your title to a non-spouse, you're way more trusting than I am. The only way that's a smart move is if the car is worth less than the fines and you're never going to register another car in Texas.

This sounds like the best answer so far. I got nuthin to add.

She did not wait five years to register the vehicle. She got from her boyfriend OF five years after they broke up. The bill of sale is dated May of this year.

I would think the registration office would go after him since the bill of sale is May of this year. She may have to pay a small fine since she did not register it in her name in 30 days, but I do not see how they can hang his toll charges on her since she clearly did not own it when the fines were incurred.

The relationship was five years old. The truck was registered when they decided to split up.

UPDATE:

She went down to the tax office with her bill of sale and talked to several people and found one person that was willing to listen to her and knew how to help her. The end result is all of the tolls prior to the date of the bill of sale are his responsibility. So when his new vehicle comes up for registration this year all he will be hit in the face with a $3500 bill. She walked away free and clear.

She wanted me to tell you guys "Thank You!"
