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.

Clarkee, did you end up doing this? My automobile is 12 years old and I got it used from Connecticut anyway so I'm sure the MCO at Connecticut is destroyed by now. Would a microfiche copy send to me (and destroyed on their end) be sufficient? I heard that the original document is the only gold here, any copies are worthless.
