House Bill 511 amends the Transportation Code to require the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV) to issue a non-expiring license plate for a token trailer registered as part of a commercial fleet. For a token trailer registered and used in combination with certain truck-tractors or commercial motor vehicles, the bill requires TxDMV to issue a non-expiring license plate, rather than a specially designed license plate, and specifies that the plate's annual registration insignia is not required to be valid. The bill authorizes the alphanumeric pattern for these license plates to remain on a token trailer for as long as the registration of the token trailer is renewed or until the token trailer is removed from service or sold. Finally, the bill provides that the vehicle registration receipt is not required for token trailers with these license plates.
