Requirements for Use of Vehicle License Plates and License Plate Information

Dealer's License Plates: Instead of registering a vehicle that the dealer owns, operates, or permits to be operated on a public street or highway in the state of Texas, the dealer may apply for, receive, and attach metal dealer's license plates to the vehicle if it is the type of vehicle that the dealer sells and for which the dealer has been issued a GDN. These metal plates expire on the same day as the dealer's GDN; the full fee must be paid regardless of the date they were applied for. *** Dealers applying for additional license plates must meet the Texas Administrative Code, Title 43 §215.139 plate rule. Manufacturer's License Plates: Instead of registering a new vehicle that a manufacturer intends to test on a public street or highway or to loan to a consumer during warranty repair to a consumer's vehicle, the manufacturer may apply for, receive, and attach manufacturer's license plates to the vehicle. Commercial motor vehicles with manufacturer's license plates attached may not carry a load. These plates may only be used for the above noted purposes. These metal plates expire the same day as the license, and the full fee must be paid regardless of the date they were applied for. Converter's License Plates: Instead of registering a vehicle that a converter operates or permits to be operated on a public street or highway, the converter may apply for, receive, and attach metal converter's license plates to the vehicle if it is the type of vehicle that the converter is engaged in the business of assembling or modifying. These metal plates expire on the same day as the converter's license; the full fee must be paid regardless of the date they were applied for.

Q: What is "proof of sales"? A: Proof of sales may consist of a copy of the most recently filed Vehicle Inventory Tax Statements (VIT), filed monthly with the proper county tax office in the county of the dealership's location, or Vehicle Inventory Tax Declaration. These copies should be stamped "Received" by the tax authority. NOTE: Any franchised dealer's renewal license application that indicates sales of more than 200 units shall be considered proof of sales of more than 200 units, and no additional proof is required. Wholesale sales will be included in the number of sales to qualify for additional plates. Q: I am a utility trailer, semi-trailer or a wholesale dealer, so I don't have a VIT/proof of sales document as described above that I can submit. A: In this case, proof of sales documentation may consist of: sales reports, the front and back of title documents, copies of sales contracts, or a bill of sale. Wholesale dealers will have to show proof of at least five vehicles sold. Q: If I want more plates than I qualify for with proof of sales, how can I make my request? A: If plates are needed over and above the amounts listed in Tables 1 and 2 and the proof of sales do not qualify you for the additional plates, a dealer may apply for a waiver of the metal plate allocation restrictions. You should submit the waiver request letter along with your license renewal application or plate application. Rules for waivers: • A request for waiver must be in writing and specifically state why the additional plates are necessary to the continuation of the applicant's business. • A request for waiver must indicate proof of business necessity for additional plates, e.g., initial inventory purchase, number of people employed, etc. • Proof of sales, as defined above, MUST accompany the request if applicant had a previous license. • Wholesale dealers may not request a waiver.

Once a waiver is granted authorizing a certain number of plates, the authorization under that waiver is good for four (4) years. Waivers issued by the director or the director's designee shall be reported to the Board.
