Relating to the titling, registration, and operation of a miniature vehicle.

SB 1816 defines "miniature vehicle" as a small, self-propelled vehicle with four or more tires that complies with federal law and isn't classified as a golf cart, neighborhood electric vehicle, or street rod. The bill requires these vehicles to be titled and registered as motor vehicles under Texas Transportation Code, similar to standard cars. Owners may operate them on public highways only if registered/titled and capable of complying with traffic laws. The law took effect immediately after Governor's signature on June 20, 2025, applying to all miniature vehicles meeting the defined criteria.
