TxDMV has a Multi-Year Token Trailer Registration Program for Texas trailers that qualify for Token Trailer license plates. This program makes it convenient for business owners to keep all of their token trailer registrations current.
A key benefit of the program is that a "non-expiring" license plate is issued for these token trailers (no expiration month/year on the plate and no validation stickers issued for renewal). This eliminates the need to locate the trailers each year to affix new plates or stickers. The registration receipt is the proof of current registration.
You can select a registration period of not less than one year and not more than five years.
Semitrailers must have a gross weight in excess of 6,000 pounds to qualify for Token Trailer registration. There is no minimum number of trailers required for you to participate in the Multi-Year Token Trailer Registration Program.
