Here is a post from another site where somebody lived in Texas, but registered their scooter in Vermont. It may work for you.
"Assuming that it is not stolen, an easy way to get it titled/registered/legally yours would be to register it in Vermont (they have liberal registration laws there, Google it and you'll find search results on it). Fill out the registration form and the cost would be around $73, I believe for any purchase price under $500. They will give you a plate and registration making you legal. If you then chose to re-register/title it in your state it should not be a problem to work with your local DMV.

This process worked for me and a 2006 Genuine Black Cat that I bought without a title and wanted to operate in Texas (which does require registration of 50cc scooters). I have a current Vermont plate and registration on the scooter. I haven't re-registered the bike in Texas but will try to do so when my current plate expires in August. If Texas won't allow me to register it there I will just renew the Vermont registration."
