yeah, according to coparts site, I need a dealer license or dismantlers license to buy anything but salvage title cars.
a dealers license in texas is getting tougher due to all the license plate fraud etc..
I would be required to have a seperate location from my home to run it out of even if it is in my home. can't be part of the residence.
not really worth it for a couple of cars. and really not possible due to the seperate place of business rule.
