Vehicle Registration Services Alert: The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) "classic" online vehicle registration

renewal portal is no longer available. At this time, not all vehicle registration services are available online. If you're

eligible for online vehicle registration renewal, please use Texas by Texas (TxT) to create an account, link your eligible

vehicle, and complete your transaction. You can review TxT FAQs and Vehicle Registration Renewal FAQs for more

details. For more information about TxT, visit Texas.gov/TxT. If you have a commercial or government vehicle that

needs to be renewed, please visit the DMV website for information about in-person and mail-in renewal options.

Vehicle Registration Renewals Have Moved

Texas (TxT).

You can renew your registration using:

What You Need to Know

Some services previously offered online are not available in TxT:

  Some trailers cannot be renewed in TxT. If online renewal is unavailable, visit your county tax office or an

  authorized renewal partner (such as grocery stores or insurance companies).

  TxT accounts are for individuals only. These vehicles must be renewed in person.

Creating a TxT Account

To set up your TxT account, you'll need:
