HB 3365 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to a contract between a private vendor and the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles for certain license plate services; authorizing a fee.

HB 3365 amends Texas law to establish new requirements for contracts between the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) and private vendors providing license plate services. The bill mandates that vendor contracts must include quarterly financial reporting, allow electronic systems compatible with DMV's registration system, and permit vendors to offer premium specialty license plates and home delivery (with an additional fee) for customers whose delivery address matches their vehicle's registered address. It also clarifies that vendors may recover standard county fees for handling specialty plates. The law directly affects the DMV, private vendors, and Texas vehicle owners purchasing specialty plates or using home delivery. The bill takes effect September 1, 2025.
