I just bought a used boat. I have the bill of sale for the trailer. The trailer is under 4000 lbs. What documents and where do I need to go to register this trailer? I live in Houston close to Bellaire. Thank you.

Local tax office. Theyll have a form theyll explain. Hopefully your bill of sale has all the important info or you'll have to go back and try to get it from the seller.

Texas treats all trailers as road vehicles, so it is titled and registered like vehicles are through DMV processes.

Ideally if you can get previous owners registration paper you can knock it out with one trip to the county tax office.

Unless it changed, no title needed for trailers less than 4k lbs.

Hit the easy button and tell them you built a homemade trailer if there is not title. You won't need any paperwork

I bought a boat a few years ago. Plates still read a different county and expired in 2021. I think I'll keep risking it on the 1 mile drive to the private boat ramp

There was a time when that was the easy way. Think they finally wised up and no longer the case.

Yeah, if it is anything like a homemade boat hull, you'd have to to show receipts for materials.
