Ask 2: Can I receive a citation for having an expired vehicle registration during the pandemic?
Question: Can I receive a citation for having an expired vehicle registration during the pandemic? This waiver period remains in effect until the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) announces that normal operations have resumed. According to the Texas DMV, drivers may choose to take no action during the waiver period; however, online registration renewal is still available. Bear in mind, once normal operations have resumed, drivers will have 60 days from the date of the announcement to have their vehicle inspected and complete the registration process. Houston Police Department is not enforcing citations for expired vehicle registration.
