Texas DMV Number (TxDMV #)

from $385.00

Get your Texas DMV Number for operating commercial vehicles in Texas. Required for motor carriers running vehicles over 26,001 lbs, transporting household goods at any weight, or hauling hazardous materials on Texas roads. Interstate carriers operating in Texas need it alongside their federal authority.

Texas gates the number behind two things carriers don't expect: specific insurance filings with the TxDMV (Form E for liability, Form H for cargo) and proof of enrollment in a drug-testing program. We coordinate the insurance filings and can set up the testing enrollment if you don't have it.

Pricing scales with fleet size and cargo type; pick your options at checkout and the price matches your operation.

What's Included

  • TxDMV Application: We file your registration with the Texas DMV.
  • TxDMV Number: Your Texas motor carrier identification number.
  • Insurance Filing Coordination: We coordinate your Texas insurance filing (Form E or H).

Who Needs a TxDMV Number?

You need a TxDMV Number if you operate in Texas with a vehicle over 26,001 lbs GVWR, a vehicle transporting household goods, or a vehicle transporting hazardous materials. Household goods carriers need it regardless of weight.

Texas also requires proof of drug-testing enrollment before the number is granted, which trips up carriers who thought testing only applied to CDL fleets.

What Happens After I Order?

We collect your company, fleet, and cargo details, confirm your drug-testing enrollment is in place (and set it up if it isn't), file your registration with the Texas DMV, and coordinate the Form E or Form H insurance filings Texas requires. You get your TxDMV Number when the state issues it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the threshold 10,001 or 26,001 lbs in Texas?+

Texas uses 26,001 lbs for state registration requirements. However, federal DOT number requirements still apply at 10,001 lbs.

Do I need a TxDMV Number if I'm an interstate carrier?+

Yes. If you are an interstate carrier operating in Texas, you need both your operating authority and the TxDMV Number.

What about insurance filings?+

Texas requires specific insurance filings with the TxDMV: Form E for liability and Form H for cargo. We coordinate these filings with your insurer.

Do I need to be enrolled in drug testing?+

Yes. As part of the TxDMV application, Texas requires proof of enrollment in a drug-testing program before your number can be granted. Our drug and alcohol consortium satisfies the requirement.
