Bill, Texas as you may know is a "Community Property State". Until the divorce is final, she has as much Right to sell as he has. Now, depending on what has been worked out by the attorneys, and the Judge, this may be an item that must go through the court before being sold. It depends on how big their estate is, and several other items, including if there is one or more businesses. Best thing to do, is to talk to the actual owner of the tractor, in this case at this point it appears to be the wife. If it is not in her possession on the property on which she resides, do not go for it. Also, in addition to getting a Bill of Sale (notarized as suggested), make sure it is the woman who has the assumed Rights to it, and not the "Broker". When the time comes to pay and pick up (don"t pay until you go to get it), make sure you have a Sheriff"s Deputy, Constable, or Deputy Constable present to verify what is taking place, and to ward off any trouble in case the soon to be ex-husband arrives.

Also, in Texas notoraziton only verifies that the person signing is in fact the person they say they are, and not someone impersonating another. I don't think it is a scam, but there are a few things that could back fire. The information I have provided comes from having been a Texas Peace Officer for over 22 years, and having served at one point with an agency in McLennan County. I'm not considered as "expert" as an attorney, but we have to have a very good knowledge to be in the field. Never even wanted to be an attorney, but have dealt with many...

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
