    Default Transferring Title To Avoid Paying Fines

    Mr.Knowitall,
    I have a question along the same lines. My friend has tons of fines on her vehicle which is now preventing her from registering her car. She asked me to officially "purchase her car on paper" so the car is no longer in her name and I can register the vehicle for her. Can this work here in Texas? Or will this bad registration/fines follow her wherever she goes?

    No.

    One, it's fraud. Two, the fines are in her name and cross-referenced with her SSN and/or drivers license number. She's not going to be able to register ANY car until she clears those fines.

    If you're talking about faking a sale of the car from her to you (and paying real sales taxes on the fake sale), registering the car in her name, and letting her drive it... you open up the potential of all sorts of problems, including her having an accident in your car (which the insurance company may investigate and decide not to cover), her getting a "ton of fines" on what's now your vehicle for which you are responsible, etc.
