Governor Abbott Suspends Vehicle Registration, Titling, And Inspection Rules For Victims Of Harvey
Governor Greg Abbott and the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles have temporarily suspended rules relating to vehicle registration, titling, and inspection for victims of Hurricane Harvey. With this suspension, Texans who reside in affected counties can avoid penalties for failure to timely register a vehicle, obtain a vehicle inspection, or transfer title to a vehicle. This suspension will alleviate these regulatory burdens for Texans currently dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey.
"I hope that this suspension will make the lives of Texans affected by Harvey a little less complicated so that they may focus on rebuilding their homes and communities," said Governor Abbott. "Making sure that all Texans impacted by this storm can fully recover is my number one priority, and I want to make sure that these victims are not dealing with burdensome rules and regulations. I will continue to use everything at my disposal to get the victims of the storm what they need to get their lives back on track."
The Governor will work with the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles and Texas Department of Public Safety to help ensure that law enforcement officers throughout the state are aware of this suspension.
The suspension is set to last for 45 days. For additional information Texas should contact the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles at (888) 368-4689.
