Well looks like I am making the move from Maryland to Texas here soon will be working in the San Antonio area. So now comes the process of looking for a place to live anyone have some areas I should avoid? Or should look into? How easy is it to title my truck in Texas?

 

Start drinking water now. It will hit 100 in June and the humidity and warm sun might take you some getting used to.

Can't help with the neighborhoods, but the truck is easy. You'll need your registration, proof of insurance, and a Texas address to register it here. Then you'll need to pass an annual safety inspection for things like lights, horn, brakes, etc. If you've got a gas motor they'll shove a sniffer up your tailpipe. If you've got a diesel, they don't.

 

I have a diesel what is the average rate for registration down there since here in Maryland they try to take your first born.........

 

BiggDaddyT,

You will like Texas way more than Maryland. My sister and brother-in-law just moved to San Antonio this week. I've been in Salado for 9 months now.

My truck was easy to register, but my RV took extra time because I had to have it weighed. I also have a trailer and it had to be weighed. All in all, it was easier but slightly more expensive than other states I've lived in.

Welcome to Texas!!!

I have a buddy who lives in Cibalo and has been telling me how nice it is down there.....I am sssooo ready to move I am from Florida but was in Maryland due to Military. Got out in 07 been waiting for a chance to get out of here and now the chance is here and taking it, Plus I know the truck will fit right in down there............

 

I don't remember what my registration costs, however there are days that I wonder how much extra money I would have without the first born

Registration is less than $100, is that good enough?

 

That works for me cause for here they seem to like taking folks bank accounts and sucking them dry. I will be working out of Lackland area anyone around there?

 

Be good to have you here. Hope the trek fairs out well

 

I do to I have the mud grapplers on right now but not trying to spend anything right now to replace them. So hopefully for the drive they hold up well.

 

yep don't want them turning into racing slicks

 

Don't forget there is a one time fee for moving a vehicle to the state. It's about $100 IIRC. At least it's only a one time fee.

my truck run around $70 a year for registration. I dont know about the fee for moving a vehicle from one state to anouther though. The lackland area is nice. My brother used to be stationed there. I dont know the neighborhoods but the general area around lackland is nice. congradulation on moving to texas. when you get here dont forget to drop that maryland membership and come join us.
