One silver lining from the COVID-19 pandemic is coming to an end April 14: Waivers for vehicle title and registration requirements in Texas.
Gov. Greg Abbott initially placed a waiver in March 2020 to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and reduce in-person contact. By suspending these rules, Texans can avoid unnecessary crowds and in-person contact without fear of being penalized, Abbott said in a news release in last year. We encourage all Texans to continue practicing social distancing and to take preventative actions to protect their health and the health of those around them.
The expiring waiver covers initial vehicle registration, vehicle registration renewal, vehicle titling, renewal of permanent disable parking placards and 30-day temporary permits.
