I’ve made a couple of calls this morning to different TX DMV numbers. First call, to the division for oversize/overweight vehicles, the lady told me I could get a permit that would get me as far as the LA border, but then I would have to make arrangements with LA, MS, AL, etc., for the rest of the trip.
I then called the first TX DMV number again and was told the county tax office could issue me a one-trip-permit that would be good for up to 15 days for my trip back home. I need the title assigned to me by current owner, my DL, proof of insurance, and $5 fee. That was the kind of answer I was hoping for the first time I called last week.
I’ve also found a couple of other web pages at the TX DMV site that suggest that the trip permit is only good in Texas.
I then called the WV DMV this morning to inquire about a permit. They can sell me a permit, but it is only good in WV, not in other states.
This makes me wonder whether in reality each state does its own permit for within its borders. It is tempting to take my WV RV plates from the TT along as a backup plan and hope I don’t get stopped. But I guess it would be better if I get stopped somewhere to rely on presenting the TX One-Trip 15-day Permit and the TX title recently assigned to me and hope for the good will of the officer.
