Motor Vehicle Information
GCTO provides registration and titling services for more than 250,000 motor vehicles on behalf of the Texas Department of Transportation. We provide the renewal services and TXDOT mails the annual registration renewal notices. Keep an eye on your windshield sticker just in case your renewal is not sent!

In order to renew your registration sticker, proof of Texas liability insurance is required. If you are mailing your renewal, please write your Texas drivers license number on the check.

The following fees are charged for motor vehicle registration renewals (truck fees are based on gross vehicle weight and you must call our office for the appropriate amount):
 
2007 & newer passenger vehicle $70.80 per vehicle
2004-2006 passenger vehicle $62.80 per vehicle
2003 & older passenger vehicle $52.80 per vehicle
Motorcycle $32.30 per vehicle


You may renew online by clicking on the Renew Your Vehicle Registration Online link as long as your registration has not expired. You may also visit any of our offices for your sticker or drop the renewal along with proof of insurance in any of our drop boxes. Online renewals and renewals left in drop boxes are processed within three to five days working days.

Should you need additional information, please contact our office at (409) 766-2485, toll free at 1-877-766-2284 or send an email to
