Also having just gone through this, I can vouch for Harris County not
taking checks.  There are signs all over the branch near me saying "No
Checks Please".  However, I think if you really beg, and you get
someone who is in a really good mood, and the cashier/controller-type
person is in a really good mood, and it's not too hot, etc., you may
be able to get them to take a check.

BTW, I was buying a car that was titled out of state, but already
registered here, and I just had to get the title signed over and the
odometer statement (TX Form 130-U, I believe) filled out and signed.
I also had a bill of sale written up and signed by the seller.  I had
to show proof of insurance and pay 6.25% sales tax + about $50 in
miscellaneous other fees (including renewing the registration).
