Bennett,
You shouldn't need the title or mechanics letter to get insurance on your
truck.
The State of Texas does require proof of insurance to transfer a tilte,
register and pass the safety inspection. I recently was told the same
thing buy a car dealer about needing an inspection sticker to transfer a
title but a good friend of mine with the DPS said it is not needed. Just
for safety I called the local Tax Assessor Collector's office to ask. They
said as long as the truck had a Texas title, I did not need the proof of
inspection to transfer the title. If it had an out of state title then the
inspection was needed before the tile can be transfered.
Good Luck fighting the title/tag Nazis. ;-)
