you can only get caught if you or the seller spills the beans. i know lots of peopel who have done this and nobody has ever been caught. the DMV has never gone back to a seller and asked about the transaction.
your question does not apply to this way of doing it because there is nothign to get caught doing. if you are not doing anythgin wrong then you cant get caught.
its easy to get around. you just say it was a gift and then you pay $10 gift tax.
if you are an honest person and dont want to lie then its still easy to get around.
you get will the seller and you give him a gift(and it just happens to be what he was asking for the car) or you buy some floormats from him (again for the cars price) and since he is such a nice person he decides to give you an early xmas present and he gives you the car as a gift.
this is a free country so you and him are allowed to give each other gifts. since the car was a gift then you only pay a $10 tax.

ya, the guys pretty cool. Known him for a while, so it shouldnt be an issue. I've really been eyeing these bald 315s he has, seemed a little pricey. But I may end up picking them up 
. Im on tx dot right now trying to find the forms for it right now.

aah. Its 80% of $3800 so taxes will only be 190. I'm just going to pay the taxes.. Im a big *****. Whats gay is that the value of the car doesnt change on tx dot at all no matter what the mileage is... pretty MF homo.

You have 30 days to transfer the title without having it insured or inspected if the car has a TX title & you have insurance on another car. If it is an out of state title, it has to pass inspection first. If the registration is out, you will have to pay for registration. If you do not want to register it, you will have to surrender the tags. I just went through this about 6 months ago.
