Come in Houston...need some help...Over

[angelys]

Here's the deal:

Have some friends, that have a son attending U of H (yes he is canadian, golf scholarship)

He is there for the next 2.5 yrs and needs a car. Here is where the headache begins!

I know someone here moved from Cali to Texas and had to change plates, registration and whatever else...

We have gone through many options and still trying to figure out what to do...I am calling DMV Houston on Monday morning because I just feel might as well go direct to the source right?

they are thinking of leasing a car here, driving there and insuring here as well

From what I see, any car still needs to be registered in houston and HE will have to get a valid US lic as well. Ins wise...wow different from Cdn to USA. However again, being he is a student he will not have to surrender his Cdn lic.

Guess what I am asking is for contact info. he is residing in Houston Texas ZIP 77004

Where do we begin? DMV? Tel number closest to his location etc etc

If anyone has gone through this process, it would surely be greatly appreciated to hear about the experience and understand more.

Thank you much in advance

When I lived in Texas I turned in my Ontario license for a Texas one at the DMV. There was a short written test and that's all there was to it. After that I bought a couple of vehicles there, insured them and everything was routine.

Angelys, here is the link to the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) which is the State police and handles the DMV. http://www.txdps.state.tx.us/

Here is a link to a site that is very helpful in answering any questions you might have. http://www.dmv.org/tx-texas/department-motor-vehicles.php
