Dallas new owner, title stuff, help!!!

[Dallas56]

I bought a new (no title) SPF last week. I am trying to get a title, down to last form, the dreaded, kiss of death Form VTR-68-A, the bottom portion of which is certification of inspection by a law enforcement officer. Dallas County said go to a DPS office. I did that, DPS office said only the main DPS office did these. I went there. They said as of February, they don't do these any more, referred me to the Dallas Police Department. I called the Dallas Police Department, they said they do this for reassigned title, but not for a new title. I am now back in touch with Dallas County, trying to get them to identify some law enforcement organization who will complete this form. In the meantime . . . have any of you been through this drill recently? What is the solution?

On a more cheerful note, having driven this car for four days, I am astonished by the attention it draws. When people on foot see this car, their faces light up, they wave, give high fives. Folks in cars honk, roll their windows down, ask questions. I stopped to get gas yesterday, two people came by to ask about and compliment the car. This incessant attention might get old after a while, buy right now I think it is absolutely cool.
