Temporary Permits and drivers license renewal Consulting Services by Remco Insurance

Temporary Permits

TxDMV issues temporary permits for private or commercial vehicles subject to Texas registration laws, but not authorized to travel on Texas highways due to the lack of registration or lack of reciprocity with the state or country in which the vehicle is registered.

TxDMV offers the following temporary permit types:

Temp Permits:  72-to144-Hour Permits,                                          One-Trip Permits                                                         30-Day Permits

Transit Permit: If you buy a car or truck and the seller keeps the Texas license plates, the Transit Permit allows you to legally drive the vehicle home or to your local county tax office.

How to Purchase

If you need a 72 hour, 144 hours, one-trip, 30 days,s or transit permit, please give us a call at (877)325-4545 or email us at sales@remco.com!

TxDMV issues a 72- or 144-Hour Permit for the movement of a laden truck, truck-tractor, trailer, semitrailer, or motor bus on the highways of Texas.

A 72-or 144-Hour Permit may only be issued to commercial vehicles and buses owned by residents of the United States, Mexico, or Canada.
These permits may be used to:

  • Operate an unregistered commercial vehicle or bus in Texas.
  • Engage in intrastate operations in Texas with out-of-state licensed commercial vehicles.
Texas residents may use these permits to operate:
  • An unregistered commercial vehicle or bus in Texas.
  • A Texas registered commercial vehicle with a heavier gross weight than registered. The heavier load may operate for only the period that the permit is valid unless the owner purchases additional permits.
  • A vehicle registered with either Farm or Soil Conservation license plates when the vehicle is operating over the maximum weight allowed by law.
Timed Permits may not be issued to:
  • Any vehicle that has been issued a salvage or nonrepairable certificate of title
  • Any vehicle that has been apprehended
Vehicles operating with a 72- or 144-Hour Permit may operate at the maximum weight allowed under Texas registration laws.
A 72- or 144-Hour Permit is valid only in Texas.

Applicants must show proof of liability insurance that meets the Texas minimum liability limits of $30,000/$60,000/$25,000. Insurance is not required for trailers and semitrailers. An insurance company authorized to write insurance in Texas must provide the coverage.
 

A vehicle displaying a 72- or 144-Hour Permit must pass the Texas Safety Inspection prior to being operated on the highways. If the vehicle displays current out-of-state license plates or the vehicle is mobile drilling or servicing equipment used in the production of gas or crude petroleum oil, a Texas Safety Inspection is not required.

The following instructions apply when 72- or 144-Hour Permits are issued to trucks or truck-tractors with a gross weight in excess of 10,000 lbs. and semitrailers with gross weights in excess of 6,000 lbs. and the combined gross weight is greater than 18,000 lbs.:

  • A truck or truck tractor displaying a 72- or 144-Hour Permit may not pull a semitrailer displaying a Token Trailer license plate. Token Trailer license plates are valid only when displayed on semitrailers pulled by vehicles registered with Combination, Forestry, Apportioned, or Seasonal Permit license plates for the combined gross weight of all the vehicles used in the combination. Therefore, if a pulling unit displays such a permit, each semitrailer operated in combination must also display a permit or trailer registration.
  • If a truck or truck tractor displaying a Combination license plate pulls a semitrailer displaying a 72- or 144-Hour Permit, the pulling unit should be registered for the combined gross weight of all the vehicles in the combination. If the vehicle is not registered for a sufficient combined gross weight then the owner may increase the weight at the county or may purchase a 72- or 144-Hour Permit for the pulling unit. The permit qualifies the combination for the maximum gross weight permitted under the registration laws.
  • A vehicle displaying Truck license plates cannot legally pull a semitrailer displaying a Token Trailer license plate. The semitrailer would need to display a 72- or 144-Hour Permit. This allows the owner to legally operate the combination without exchanging registration.
  • An out-of-state licensed power unit can legally pull a semitrailer displaying a Texas Token Trailer license plate. The power unit must be registered for a combined gross weight of the truck, trailer, and load. The out-of-state vehicle must display a 72- or 144-Hour Permit on the pulling unit.
  • A properly licensed out-of-state power unit operating in Texas under the International Registration Plan may operate interstate or intrastate in Texas while pulling a semitrailer displaying a Texas Token Trailer license plate or a 72- or 144-Hour Permit. The out-of-state power unit must be registered for the combined gross weight of the truck, trailer, and load.

TxDMV issues a One-Trip Permit for the temporary movement of an unladen vehicle subject to Texas registration laws. A One-Trip Permit is valid for a period of 15 days from the effective date.
A One-Trip Permit is valid for one trip only between the point of origin and the point of destination and the intermediate point as shown on the receipt.

If you need a 72 hour, 144 hours, one-trip, 30 days,s or transit permit, please give us a call at (877) 325-4545 or email us at sales@remco.com!

  • A vehicle carrying a fixed load regardless of whether the vehicle is conventional or unconventional.
  • A vehicle that has been apprehended for operating unregistered.

Applicants must show proof of liability insurance that meets the Texas minimum liability limits of $30,000/$60,000/$25,000. Insurance is not required for trailers and semitrailers. An insurance company authorized to write insurance in Texas must provide the coverage.

 

A vehicle displaying a current One-Trip Permit is exempt from displaying a current Texas Safety Inspection.

Permit Display

The permit must be displayed in the rear window of the vehicle. If the vehicle does not have a rear window, the operator must carry the permit and receipt in the vehicle any time the vehicle is in-transit.

 

TxDMV issues a 30-Day Permit for the temporary movement of a vehicle subject to Texas registration laws. A 30-Day Permit is valid for a period of 30 days from the effective date reflected on the permit.
No more than three 30-Day Permits will be issued per vehicle.


If you need a 72 hour, 144 hour, one trip, 30 day or transit permit, please give us a call at (877)325-4545 or email us at sales@remco.com!

The permit is available for passenger vehicles, motorcycles, private buses, trailers, and semitrailers with a gross weight not exceeding 10,000 lbs., and for light commercial vehicles not exceeding a gross vehicle weight of 10,000 lbs. A commercial vehicle exceeding a gross weight of 10,000 lbs. is eligible for the permit if operating unladen.

30-Day Permits may not be issued for:

  • Vehicles that have been apprehended in Texas for operating unregistered or with expired license plates. In such instances, the owner must purchase registration and pay a penalty equal to 20% of the applicable fee.
  • Junked, salvage, or nonrepairable vehicles.
  • A vehicle that has been apprehended for operating unregistered.
 

Applicants must show proof of liability insurance that meets the Texas minimum liability limits of $30,000/$60,000/$25,000. Insurance is not required for trailers and semitrailers. An insurance company authorized to write insurance in Texas must provide the coverage.

Permit Display

The permit must be displayed in the rear window of the vehicle. If the vehicle does not have a rear window, the operator must carry the permit and receipt in the vehicle any time the vehicle is in-transit.
