Depending on the age of the car, there are many different legal requirements regarding DOT regulations - best to have a broker handle the transaction. Getting it through customs is where the issue is going to be - as they may not release it. Once it's in your possession and registered and plated in TX, none of this really matters.

I do have a broker handling it, I guess I'm just doing my own research. The car is about 34 years old - it's an 86. The thought of it not making it through customs is scary.
Getting it registered in Texas might be tricky if it can't pass the safety inspection, which includes the headlights.
