Your research is bad and in gross error.

Correct me if I am wrong but we are talking about Texas correct?

You cite first

Quote:
Motor vehicle- PC §28.01 (4), §30.01, §31.11 ( c), §32.34(a)(2), 501.002(14), §502.001, §503.001(10), §522.003 (21), §541.201 (11), §601.002 (5), §621.001 (5), §642.001 (1), §683.001 (4), §706.001 (5), §725.001 (3), §728.001 (2), V §4413(29c)(1) all definitions pertain to a “vehicle”.

HOWEVER in Texas this citation controls the definition of motor vehicle when discussing registration.

Quote:
TITLE 7. VEHICLES AND TRAFFIC

SUBTITLE A. CERTIFICATES OF TITLE AND REGISTRATION OF VEHICLES

CHAPTER 502. REGISTRATION OF VEHICLES

SUBCHAPTER A. GENERAL PROVISIONS



§ 502.001. DEFINITIONS. In this chapter:
...
(13) "Motor vehicle" means a vehicle that is
self-propelled.

You then cite erroneously again
Quote:
Vehicle- PC §28.01 (4) “Vehicle” includes any device in, on, or by which any person or property is or may be propelled, moved, or drawn in the normal course of commerce or transportation.

When the controlling definition is found here...

Quote:
TITLE 7. VEHICLES AND TRAFFIC

SUBTITLE A. CERTIFICATES OF TITLE AND REGISTRATION OF VEHICLES

CHAPTER 502. REGISTRATION OF VEHICLES

SUBCHAPTER A. GENERAL PROVISIONS

§ 502.001. DEFINITIONS. In this chapter:

...

(24) "Vehicle" means a device in or by which a person
or property is or may be transported or drawn on a public highway,
other than a device used exclusively on stationary rails or tracks.

See where you went wrong. You went to some weird part of the code and grabbed some other definition for vehicle and applied to a part of the code dealing with registration that already defined the term totally different than the other section.

Your paper is not sound in law or principle.
