Ditto on tatest's comments. I don't think you have a problem. Plates in Texas stay with the vehicle. All you need is bill of sale, title (if clear), proof of insurance, etc. drive it home and take care of taxes and registration there.
NEVER leave the plates anymore. Plates do NOT stay in Texas anymore. The problem with leaving the plates on is this---IF the new owner gets on a Toll Tag road or gets parking tickets or ANYTHING that will cause Law Enforcement to tag or ticket the vehicle, the seller will be liable and getting any tickets handled will be cumbersome. In Texas, you can go to the county Tax office and PAY for a 30 day temp tag. I believe it is about $30. Also, once you sell, you go to the State Website and or County Website and fill out a form that states date of sale and who purchased it. That gets YOU off the hook for what happens after they take possession of the vehicle. You also remove the plates. THAT makes the buyer get it registered or get the Temp Plates very fast, as he will NOT want to drive without plates on the vehicle. Doug
