Straw purchase

Jurisdiction

Texas

There's nothing illegal about a mother buying a car and letting her son and his girlfriend use it so you get nowhere with that "straw purchase" business.

However, driving with no license and no insurance is illegal and you are free to report that to the local police.

Unfortunately, the police might or might not do anything about it and there's nothing you do to compel them to do anything about it.

I am currently going through a divorce and my husbands mother bought him and his girlfriend a car my husband could not get financed due to we filed bankruptcy on 12/2015 his girlfriend is driving the vehicle with no license or insurance how can I report this straw purchase.

I am currently going through a divorce and my husband and I filed bankruptcy in 12/2015. He tried to buy his new girlfriend a car but after being turned down his mother bought it for them. My husband knows what a straw purchase is and his girlfriend has no license or insurance but let's her drive the new car anyhow. His mother is aware of what a straw purchase is as well I was in the car business for 17 years so they are fully aware. What can I do to make the finance company aware of what they did?

What can I do to make the finance company aware of what they did?

Nothing. The finance company won't care as long as it's getting paid.

There is nothing illegal about the mother buying a car for him and letting him and his girlfriend use is.

However, it's illegal for the girlfriend to drive without a license and without insurance so you are free to to call the cops and let them know to be on the lookout for her.

Trouble is, no matter who you rat these people out to, it may give you some personal satisfaction but it won't help you one bit in your divorce.

All the finance co. cares about is getting their money.
