Alpo Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 He was discharged from the Corps in California. He buys a car. He's going to live in Texas. He immediately starts East. License plates? California temporary paper plate? I hadn't thought about this until he's talking about getting a parking permit for his car at the college he's going to. He says, "I don't have plates yet", and I first thought that meant he didn't have Texas plates, but since he only owned the car in California for about a half an hour before he was gone, would he have any kind of plate? Of course driving across five states with no license plates would probably not be a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowtown Scout, SASS #53540 L Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Temporary paper plates with an expiration date on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Brules Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Yes, I agree........temp plates from California, where he bought the car, then obtain plates from the state he’s going to be living in once he gets there, or a couple of months later or so. Might have to explain it to a bored state leo at sometime in-between, maybe. Cat Brules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedalia Dave Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 If the person is not careful they'll end up paying sales taxes twice. Had Missouri try to do that to me on a trailer I bought in Nevada. Bought it just before being transferred. Dealer charged me Nevada sales tax. When I went to register it in my home state the County clerk tried to charge me sales tax on the purchase price. Claimed that I had not owned it long enough. I went through the roof and after a long and heated discussion I went before the county judge and he ruled that I couldn't be taxed twice on the same purchase.

Rye Miles #13621 Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Temporary tags are usually good for 30 days but I don't know about California! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 California has only had temp tags for the few years. One used to get a registration paper that was taped to inside passenger side of the front windshield if a car was bought from a dealer. If a car was bought from an individual a red sticker was given to the buyer by the DMV to put in the rear window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
