In Texas, you must register your vehicle with the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV) and obtain license plates for your vehicle within 30 days of purchasing the vehicle.

To register your vehicle, you will need to provide the following documents:

- A completed Texas Application for Title and/or Registration (Form VTR-130-U).

- Proof of ownership, such as a bill of sale or the title to the vehicle.

- Proof of insurance.

- A valid Texas driver's license or identification card.

- Payment for the registration fee, title fee, and any applicable sales tax.

Once you have gathered the required documents, you can register your vehicle at any TxDMV office or online through the TxDMV website.

If you are unable to register your vehicle within 30 days of purchase, you may be subject to late fees and penalties.
