Relating to the renewal fee for a dealer's temporary license plate.
HB 4967 eliminates the renewal fee for car dealers' temporary license plates in Texas. The bill changes the Transportation Code to set a $0 renewal fee for these plates (previously a charge applied), while keeping the initial $10 fee for new temporary plates. This directly affects auto dealers who use temporary license plates for vehicles they sell. The change takes effect September 1, 2025.
