Getting a title is more the buyer's problem, seller should not need a Texas title to sell it in Texas.
Import safety certifications, and duties, could be more of an issue. I don't know that trailers would fit into the same "free trade" classification as small motor vehicles.
Have never heard of any state that did not require a title for the seller to be able to sell the vehicle/trailer or whatever.
Motor vehicle yes, trailer no. Not everybody does things the California way.

All you need to do is present the RV to any CBP Officer at any U.S. border crossing, or at any airport that has international arrivals.
I'm pretty sure that's the problem. The OP said they sold their truck and have no way to move their 5'er.
I'm skeptical of the airport route, when I tried to do almost the same as the OP as a favour for friends of the family, one of whom passed during the winter in Florida, so they could sell their m/h in Florida.
CBP told me it had to be done at the point where the RV entered the country and by the registered owner or someone with a notarized letter of authorization naming them, to prevent a thief from 'legalizing' ownership.

Don't confuse TITLE with a Registration. A TITLE is a certificate that tells who owns it ... Registration is a state fee and a plate to drive it on the highways.
You can register a vehicle you don't own, and drive it / tow it - you can't sell a vehicle unless you have its TITLE.

:h
Surely, even in Texas, a seller must guarantee legal Title to a buyer-?

As far as state department of motor vehicle requirements, every state is different as to what they require for registering an RV. Check with the state you wish to register the RV in.
On a side note, if you do sell the RV without importing it into the U.S, there will be a permanent paper trail leading directly back to you. This trail could cause you serious legal / financial issues at any time in the future that you drive, float or fly across the U.S. border. Do it right the first time and prevent any problems in the future. Good luck.

As for the paperwork the DMV gave you, there is only one version, I ran into this with Florida.
As I mentioned however, you MUST have the original paperwork certifying that the 'vehicle' conforms to the required government safety items be they UL or RV industry standards. Without that it requires some marginally legal under-handed tricks that you probably don't want to try, but work.

I think it is possible, it is a matter of finding someone in the know. My final answer and the one I wanted came from the office in San Antonio. I happened to be there at the time and went in to see them.
So, I say, check with another office as their answers and knowledge set differs.
Also have a very close friend who moved to the U.S. bringing her Mexican car with her manufactured in Mexico. Everyone said it would never happen. She went to the DMV and for $180 got California plates.
