Car Registration and Driver's License When Moving to Texas

If you are moving to Texas, you will need to register your vehicle and get a Texas driver's license soon after you arrive. Below are the steps to follow.

1. Car Registration

A. Registering Your Vehicle

• Timeframe: New residents must register their vehicle in Texas within 30 days of moving to the state.
• Requirements: At your county tax assessor-collector's office you will typically need:
  • Your out-of-state title (or the lienholder's information if the car is financed).
  • A completed Application for Texas Title and/or Registration (Form 130-U).
  • Proof of Texas auto insurance.
  • A passed vehicle inspection, if required for your vehicle and county.
  • Payment for title, registration and new-resident fees.
• Emissions Testing: Emissions testing applies in the larger metro counties, including the Austin, Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston and El Paso areas. Check the Texas DMV for the current inspection rules for your county.

Shipping a car to or from Austin, TX

Austin keeps growing, and a lot of people arrive with a car on a truck behind them - new hires at the tech campuses up north, UT students every August, families moving from California. Carriers come through the city all the time on I-35 and US-290, so finding a truck is rarely the hard part.

Getting the truck to your door can be. A full car carrier is about 75 feet long, and a lot of Austin apartment complexes, West Campus streets and newer subdivisions with tight cul-de-sacs simply can’t fit one. In that case the driver will call ahead and ask to meet nearby - a grocery store or big-box parking lot off a main road works well and only takes a few minutes.

Try to avoid scheduling pickup during rush hour on I-35 if you can; drivers plan around it too. And in the summer, when afternoons stay above 100°F for weeks, leave your car with a sunshade in and no loose electronics on the dash.
