Thankfully that's an easy fix-it ticket. Take care of the registration within 10 days of the ticket and the court will dismiss it for $10.mrmill3218 said:
Thank you for the replies. I paid the first one from back in the summer, but I have not paid the one I got yesterday.
You can do it online. I renewed three of my expired registrations on the 1st when inspections went away. As long as you haven't received a ticket, it's no problem. Just need the license plate number and last 4 of the vin. Who knows how long it'll take to actually get the stickers.BDJ_AG said:
Similar Question…But If you live in a non-emissions county and were exempt from inspections (and don't have tickets), is there other paperwork you have to take with you? Or do you just bring a checkbook and give them the license plate number?

You'll also have to pay a special assessment when registering since you received a ticket. No clue if it increases for multiple tickets.
Good news is, you've been expired long enough, your renewal date should reset and you get the entire 12 months not just the prorated months left to the original registration month.
Why did you let it go 4 years between registration renewals?mrmill3218 said:
I went way too long with getting my registration renewed in my truck. I haven't done it since 2021 and have now gotten two tickets in the last year.
How do I start this process? I know if it's been this long I need to go by the tax office or something.

Vehicle didn't run? Or rules don't apply to you?
20% of the registration fee.Tailgate88 said:txyaloo said:

How much is the assessment? Just curious.

I recently registered all of my vehicles in Texas and I was a little bit stressed out that they were going to penalize me for not registering them within 30 days of moving to Texas. They never asked how long I'd been in Texas.Tailgate88 said:
Thanks. My daughter was at college last year and it slipped my mind that her sticker expired until she came home for the summer. When I renewed it they ask "Has the car been driven?" Yes. "Did you receive a citation?" No. I assume if I answered Yes to the second question the extra 20% tax errrrrrrrr...."special assessment" would have been tacked on.

Sounds like you lived in commifornia too long. I guess you were one to turn people in for not wearing masks during covid too?
Funny you mention that, we were in San Francisco in April 2021. One of your CA friends yelled at us for not wearing masks in our rental car.HollywoodBQ said:Literally FU.Jbob04 said:

Have you been yelled at for walking on the public street for walking without a mask?
Have you been vax carded?.
Didn't think so.

Obviously I've paid late registration fees before including penalties.
I had a vehicle that didn't run for 2 years and when I finally got it renewed, I had to get new license plates too because it had been out of service for so long (my RHD Grand Cherokee when I lived in Australia).
Driving around for 4 years without paying the same registration fees that we all pay, that's stealing from you and from me. No different than the fake paper plate drivers.
Weird. My registration expired in Oct 2024 and I just now tried to renew my car's registration online and it says that I do not qualify and have to call them. I also have no tickets.BDJ_AG said:
You can only do that if it has been expired less than 12 months. This is for a scooter, not my daily driver, and it has been expired about 18 months.

Dumb guy question....
I thought inspections went away this year, no?
My son doesnt have a muffler on his vehicle. Will he fail inspection? (we live in Williamson County)
AgGrad99 said:
Thanks. So what good did getting rid of safety inspections do, if I still have to go get an emissions inspection?
Guess we'll take it there and find out. Worst case we throw it back on for the test.
I realize I keep pointing this out in different threads, but the local news really **** the bed on reporting on this law.Ag for Life said:
I'm in an emissions County and did it a week or so ago and it took about 10 minutes. Safely inspection fee moved over to the registration side as a "fee" (tax)

The Legislature deserves some kudos
Half of the safety inspection fee went away - you're still saving $7 a year for the half you paid the inspection station but the half you paid the state remains. The fee was split ~10 years ago when the inspection stickers went away in favor of one sticker.
