TxDMV Number

Get Your TxDMV Number Fast Easy With Texas Truck Permits

Having a TxDMV number is mandatory for a trucking company that operates commercial vehicles to pickup and haul cargo only in Texas. Obtaining the Texas DOT number is an integral aspect of your operating authority, ensuring your trucking business runs legally. It should not be confused with USDOT number and is mandated by the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), and not the FMCSA.
