It says "Notice of Motor Vehicle and Trailer Excise For The Year 2007 Due and Payable In Full Within 30 Days of Issue". So this is a notice, I gather. R4C?

Hey Sam, if it's an excise tax then it's indirect so it's a privilege tax. Turn your plates along with your drivers license and ask them, would this now be a direct tax?
Write to your Dept of Motor Vehicles, I believe it is and demand they send you you're MCO ( maufacturer's certificate of origin ). Of course send a cancellation letter showing that your plates were returned. Now the state doesn't have a claim to you or your automobile. I'm doing this in July as soon as my automobile come's out of the shop. I'm thinking and deciding on how I can write up an affidavit proving that I am free to use my POV in my own capacity and not for commercial use. Get this document notarized, sent to the SOS of Texas and get it documented and recorded with them, the Dept of Motor Vehicles, Dept. of Public Safety and the county court. I'll give it a try.
