Renewal cycle

Renewal cycle: annual, except 24 months on a brand-new vehicle.

Texas registration runs for twelve months. A passenger car or light truck that has never been registered anywhere gets an initial 24-month registration, but every renewal after that is annual. The $50.75 base fee and the county add-on are both per registration year.

Tex. Transp. Code § 502.252 — “The fee for a registration year for registration of a vehicle with a gross weight of 6,000 pounds or less is $50.75”
