Texas SB2022 amends vehicle registration rules for certain counties bordering Mexico with large municipalities.

Texas SB2022 amends the Texas Transportation Code to modify vehicle registration rules for specific counties. The bill applies to counties bordering the United Mexican States with a population over 500,000. It allows county assessors to refuse vehicle registration if the owner owes past due fines, fees, or taxes, or failed to appear in court. The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles must implement a system for counties to report this information, and may charge a fee for its use. The bill also authorizes a $20 reimbursement fee for unpaid fines or fees, which can be waived by a judge.
