If you’re overdue, it’s time to renew! The temporary waiver of certain vehicle title and registration requirements due to the COVID-19 pandemic will end on April 14, 2021.

If you have not renewed your expired vehicle registration, you should make plans to renew by that date. It is not necessary to wait until the deadline to complete any overdue transactions as motorists have several renewal options.

Three ways to renew your vehicle registration:

1. Online: Visit <http://www. TxDMV.gov> or <www.Texas. gov>. This is the quickest and least expensive way to renew. Save $1 if you renew online. Online renewal is available up to nine months past your registration expiration date.

2. Mail: Return the bottom portion of your registration re-newal form, payment and other required information to your county tax assessor-collector.

3. In Person: Visit the office of your county tax assessorcollector. In many counties, inperson renewal is also available at other locations, such as certain grocery stores. Contact your county tax office to check hours and locations.

Reminder: Before renewing registration, Texans will need to obtain a passing vehicle inspection at the state vehicle inspection station of their choice, unless their vehicle is exempt from inspection requirements.

The expiring temporary waiver covers the following services:

• Initial vehicle registration. • Vehicle registration renewal. • Vehicle titling. • Renewal of permanent disabled parking placards.

• 30-day temporary permits.
