Registering Used Boat from TX in LA

Buying from an individual in TX and will be registering it in LA. Have the titles of the boat, of the trailer, and of the motor. Have registration for the trailer, and for the boat, but the boat registration expired in February.
What else, besides the bill of sale will be required to get it all straight in LA?

Go to a license/registration place that does boats and let them handle it. It might cost a few dollars more but worth it not having to deal with LDWF.

I didn't even think of that! Great information there. I just called the title place and they told me exactly what I'll need to get everything handled. I was thinking I'd have to go through the OMV and DWF. They said they take care of everything and what I need for them to handle it.
Admin please delete as I got the information that I needed.

Wait can you please elaborate?
There is another option besides going to BR? Our camp is on the river NW of lake charles. A closer easier option would be great.

I called Thibs title in Lake Charles, they said bring the bill of sales for the boat and trailer, and the titles, and they would take care of everything else.

You should need a form R-1331 to avoid paying taxes in the boat. This has been signed by the seller as well I believe.
It will also need to be signed by state and local tax collector. But you're paperwork guy should be able to handle that.
I bought used boat from Florida in 2018. I did everything by mail and enail. It was slow but painless.
Theoretically you should have a separate bill of sale just for the trailer to make that part easier through the DMV side of things.

What boat are you buying? And yeah, Thibs is legit with the paperwork.

2020 Alweld 1652VV with a 2020 Tohatsu 40hp, very similar to the boat I sold a few years ago, but this one isn’t a tiller, same exact motor besides that (same year and HP). The hull I had was a Weld-Craft 1648 flat bottom, but with the exact same trailer.
