Man am I glad I don't live in TX I don"t even understand what a bond is for. MY insurance is cheap Through my regular agent. I just Had to bring her several pictures of the truck and I asked to insure it for 18K It was a done deal.At the time I bought it, it was worth considerably less. I had to pay sales tax on the purchase price. Plates on historical vehicles(25+old) cost
$35.00 and they have no expiration date..
