I have a small shop made/homemade (5'x8') utility trailer with a ramp that used to belong to my father-in-law. He passed away 19+ years ago.
To my knowledge it has never had a license plate. I have been pulling it occasionally without plates. Earlier this week I finally got pulled over and issued a warning.
I would like to get plates for it so I went to the tax office and they seem clueless on how to make this happen.
The last person I talked with said that I needed to get a bonded title. The form they handed me says it is not for trailers and I need to fill out a form VTR-125 which is for a Motor Vehicle appraisal for Tax Collector Hearing/Bonded title. It appears that I would have to take the trailer to Waco to have it inspected. This seems ridiculous for a small landscape trailer.
Anyone done this?
