Texas Temporary Fuel Permits

A trip permit may be purchased in lieu of the required interstate trucker license or International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA) license if there are no more than 5 entries into the state during a calendar year, for qualified motor vehicles entering Texas for commercial purposes.

How to get a Texas trip permit:

• Purchase a $50 cashier's check or money order payable to: The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts
• On the face of the cashier's check or money order write: "Trip Permit"
• License plate number or Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) of the vehicle entering Texas
• The date that the vehicle will enter Texas
• The receipt from the cashier's check or money order should also be marked as "trip permit" and it needs to identify the motor vehicle by license plate number or the vehicle identification number and list the date the vehicle will enter Texas.
• The receipt from the cashier's check or money order is the trip permit and must be in the vehicle for which the tax payment is made.

Mail the cashier's check or money order to:

A trip permit is valid for only one entry into Texas and for only 20 days from the date of entry.

Note: A round trip through Texas constitutes two separate entries, even if the round trip is completed within 20 days. For example: a trip originating in Arkansas, traveling through Texas to New Mexico, and then the return trip to Arkansas would require the purchase of two Texas trip permits.

Operating without the required oversize/overweight permits can result in legal penalties and fines. Additionally, vehicles found to be in violation may be subject to impoundment or delayed until proper permits are obtained. Operating without permits also poses safety risks and can damage infrastructure, leading to potential liability for the vehicle operator or owner.

A: Yes, oversize/overweight permits are typically issued for a specific duration. The duration can vary depending on the jurisdiction and the nature of the load. Permits may be issued for a single trip, a specific period (e.g., one day, one week), or for an extended period (e.g., one year) in some cases.

We need oversize/overweight permits for several reasons:

Safety: Oversize and overweight vehicles may pose a risk to road safety due to their increased dimensions and weight. Permits ensure that these vehicles adhere to specific safety regulations, such as using appropriate warning signs and flags, having proper lighting and marking, and following designated travel routes.

Infrastructure preservation: Roads, bridges, and other infrastructure have weight and size limitations to prevent damage. Oversize/overweight permits help regulate and manage the use of these structures to minimize the risk of structural damage.

Efficient transportation: Some loads, such as construction equipment, oversized machinery, or components of large structures, cannot be broken down into smaller parts. Oversize/overweight permits allow the transportation of these items, ensuring efficient movement of goods and materials.

Oversize/Overweight Permits

Damage assessment fee calculator.

The table below shows the cost per mile fee assessed for various over-legal weight axle groups. It is used to calculate the overall state fee for over-legal weight Single Trip and Job Permits. Axle group cost factors in per mile traveled.

A damage assessment fee is calculated by adding the rate for each axle group and then multiplying the sum by the miles traveled. For example, with a single axle steer group at 13,000, a tandem drive group at 38,000, and a tridem lowbed at 60,000, the damage rate would be $ 0.33 ($0 + $0.14 + $0.19) per mile traveled.

For an overweight single trip permit, add the damage assessment fee to the base $15.00 permit fee. For an overweight job permit, add the damage assessment fee to the base $36.00 permit fee.

To reduce damage assessment cost-per-mile fees, add additional axle(s) to vehicle combination, reduce the net weight of the load, or shift the load to transfer weight to other axles.
