Sorry for the rant. What I meant to convey was that even if the bike meets all the requirements the state specifies to be "street legal" they might still refuse to title/tag it. Thus it would not be legal to be driven on public roads. That is my current problem. YMMV

I've been researching that, and it looks like all the Manny-owned stores do offer the ability to title and register some of the bikes they sell in TX - the ones that are street-legal, or appear to be. For about $135 extra, in addition to TX state taxes. I quote: "Note: If you are a resident from Texas, you will be charged additional money for a tag, title and registration fee. Our system will charge you tax only. Please select Texas from the Shipping Options to add TITLE FEE, TAG FEE & INSPECTION fees amount." This note is displayed on specific bike pages only, like the TBR7, both Hawks, the Raven, the Magician, the Roketa DB-08, the Bashan Motomax 250, and the Apollo DB-36 Deluxe. Weird, the BMS Enduro 250 CRP, listed as a dual sport, does not have the note, or the extra $135 in the TX shipping option. Others, such as Orion do not - they only supply the usual MCO.

@culcune I think you are correct about Orion. When I asked them specifically about both Hawks and the Raven, they confirmed that the state of TX was cracking down on Hawk-types. They all pass inspection, he said, but the issue is how the carb-versions were "registered with the Feds". Not a big deal for the DLX. He also mentioned that a last resort in TX would be a bonded title, which turns into a regular title after 36 months. I have not looked into that, so details are still fuzzy. FWIW.
