    If it's from a dealer you should be able to get a Temp plate, from a private sale, ga law says you can do it with a bill of sale, only problem with that is, if there is Lean on it well you are responsible for the lean , if you love that truck, are you be going to jail

    If you have power of attorney on your truck, then it's a lease truck, so they can give you a Temp,

    I'm not trying to be insulting or trying to run the OP off, but buying a truck then not knowing how to register it is stupid.

    Yes, well, if you bought the truck from an individual and did not get a title you could be in trouble. Best case is the guy pats the lien and sends you one. I won't mention worst case. .

    You don't pay TVAT tax, it only happens when the vehicle is new and going to stay in the state.

    ALSO Texas will not charge you sales or use tax either IF you are doing interstate transport over 60% of the time, they have a rolling stock exemption.

    Did you contact your DMV?
