John Rome Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 My sticker expires in February. Not going back to Texas till late 2022. Is there an exception for travelers who need their cars registered? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mptjelgin Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 When you go online to renew, simply check the box stating that the vehicle is out of state. Very common for full-timers.

bigjim Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 That is the easiest but to my knowledge you can still do by mail with a written declaration that you are out of state traveling and when you get back home you have 3 days to get the safety and maybe smog inspection depending on your address for the vehicle. I think I did this last about 3-4 years ago. I use the mail forwarding at SKP's as my domicile. Polk County is very easy to work with in this regard. I think last time I had to send a photo copy of my insurance card and drivers license for the check I wrote. I called the tax office in advance to verify the correct amount for the check. A few years ago I registered and title a vehicle there by mail that I bought out of state and somehow wrote the check slightly wrong by a dollar or some small amount. That slowed everything up an necessitated a second call to Polk Cty. tax office but they just waited for me to send a second check to cover the amount I was short. In most of my TX life I used other Texas counties and they were not near as easy to deal with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Rome Posted January 26, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2022 TY. renewed my Jeep in Polk county using TXDOT online registration. It was easy and did not have to show proof of insurance. Used Credit card for payment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason that you didn't have to show proof or insurance is that the online registration system checks an insurance database. You may not have noticed but there is a message displayed during the process that says "insurance verified" or something like that.
