HB 5332 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the issuance of excess axle or gross weight permits.

HB 5332 would allow commercial trucks to operate with axle weights up to 10% over standard limits and total gross weights up to 5% over standard limits, provided they obtain a permit. It directly affects trucking companies and drivers who transport heavy loads, requiring a $90 base fee plus additional fees and a visible permit sticker on the vehicle windshield. Permits would be valid for one year, display expiration dates, and must be removed upon vehicle sale, lease expiration, or permit expiry. Failure to display the sticker would be a Class C misdemeanor.
