SxS / UTV / ATV / ROV / Sand Rail Owners - Now Street Legal in Texas!!
Posted: Tue Jun 30, 2020 2:36 pm
Layperson terms: not just folks with golf carts - now owners of RZRs, Side x Sides, UTVs, 4-wheelers, Sand Rails are able to be operated on roads with the Texas Off Highway License Plate - see the below. I just got mine today, from the Tax Assessor Collectors Office in Southlake Town Square. Cost is $14.75 - this is a one-time fee, no renewal annually. All you need is the VIN #, your DL and the money.
Here's the tidbits:
Sec. 551A.055. OPERATION AUTHORIZED IN CERTAIN AREAS. An operator may operate an unregistered off-highway vehicle:
(1) in a master planned community:
(A) that has in place a uniform set of restrictive covenants; and
(B) for which a county or municipality has approved a plat; or
(2) on a highway for which the posted speed limit is not more than 35 miles per hour, if the off-highway vehicle is operated:
(A) during the daytime; and
(B) not more than two miles from the location where the off-highway vehicle is usually parked and for transportation to or from a golf course.
