The point is revenue, and more and more states are realizing the volume of $$$ involved and have changed the rules. What can be done in one state, or even one region of a large state like Texas, is unique to that area and stories about what can & can't be done in another state is irrelevant. Enforcement is generally more focused in the large metro areas where there are more people, more cars, and more hot rods leading to more tax revenue. IMO we can thank the "reality TV" show American Hot Rod for the change. They publicized their "title wash" process of registering hi-buck rides as antiques in mid-western states, then transferring them to CA with stated values less than 10% of their sale price, and even publicized that they were "...saving the owners thousands of dollars in taxes!" Thank you, Boyd (RIP).....

Sell your truck to someone who lives near DFW and it's likely it will not keep the antique tag when they go to register it there, but that's of no consequence to you in Wichita Falls apparently, which is OK.
