Attachment
[pdf, 2 pages, 98kb]These documents contain text of correspondence sent by
TxDOT to the county tax assessor-collectors, statutory agents who provide
vehicle registration and titling services for citizens in Texas. This
information is provided to apprise the general public of issues affecting the
state’s vehicle titling and registration process.
PURPOSE
To inform you of the provisions of House Bill 2105 (copy
attached), which has been enacted by the 80th Legislature,
Regular Session.
DETAILS
Effective immediately, an individual who has a set(s) of
Disabled Veteran (DV) license plates may apply for up to two
disabled person identification placards without being required
to have the Application for Disabled Person Identification
Placard and/or Disabled Person License Plate (Form VTR-214)
completed by a doctor.
COUNTY ACTION
While we are revising the forms and finalizing the procedures
for the application and issuance of placards to DV license plate
holders, you will continue using the Form VTR-214. As an interim
process we ask that you do the following:
- Have the individual applying for the placard(s) check whether it is a
“Mobility Impaired” or “Non-Mobility Impaired” disability and complete the
applicant information on the bottom portion of the form.
- Verify the DV license plate number through the RTS Inquiry Event to
ensure that it is in the name of the individual applying for the placard(s).
- Write the individual’s DV license plate number in the block for tax
assessor-collector use only on the license plate number issued line.
- No doctor certification is required on the VTR-214 provided the
applicant has been issued DV license plates.
- $5 fee will be collected for each placard issued.
