No. Your state's department of motor vehicles will require the seller to release the vehicle to you. That individual's signature on the appropriate form(s) provides the required release.
Generally, you must have the title, signed by the seller/owner, and a bill of sale in order to register the vehicle in your name. The sale isn't valid unless the buyer receives both. If the seller does not turn over the title, the buyer cannot register the car and has no proof that the seller owned the vehicle. If you have questions contact the Department of Motor Vehicles in your jurisdiction.
Yes. When buying a car from a private seller, the purchaser should get a signed bill of sale from the seller, which includes the sale price and identifying information about the vehicle, including the Vehicle Information Number. The purchaser then reports the sale price when registering and titling the car, using the Department of Motor Vehicle's Form DTF-802. Sales tax is paid at that time.
No, the 3-day right to cancel law only applies to sales made at facilities other than the seller's place of business. Such locations may be the consumer's residence and places rented on a temporary or short-term basis by the seller. http://www.oag.state.tx.us/consumer/3day.shtml
No it's not legal. The seller doesn't have legal ownership of the vehicle and as such isn't allowed to sell it
Collected by the State when you register the vehicle.

nope
Go the the motor vehicle department. They sell temp tags from 10 to 60 days. I could be wrong about the amount of days, but that is where you'll get the temp tags. (Different user): I believe that if you purchase a car from an individual/private seller, temporary tags will not be required. You'll likely go to the department of motor vehicles, file paperwork, pay fee's (title, tax, tags) (110-160), and receive a "hard" license plate of common issuance. If you special order a license tag, request a special emblem/specialized group tag, or live in a town where a "FULL SERVICE DMV" is not available, then the probable cause of a temporary tag may play into effect.
no, you should have temporary tags
Contact your local authority's fraud department.
The title would be your receipt.
