• Answer:

  As of September 1, 2011, vehicle registration fees changed to make it easier for Texans to know what to pay. Fees are standardized for cars, light pickups, heavy vehicles, including heavy-duty pickups, motor homes and commercial trucks, trailers and travel trailers. Many Texans should see their passenger vehicle registration fee decrease, but those with older cars will experience a nominal increase that will not exceed $11. This allows the fee to be standardized for all cars and light trucks. The new standard fee creates a base registration of $50.75 for cars and light pick-up trucks. Motor vehicles 6,001 to 10,000 pounds, which includes half-ton pick-up trucks, pay a $54 annual registration fee. I believe that they will only charge you for one years registration.
