Oversize and Overweight Load Permits

Texas Permitting & Routing System (TxPROS)

TxPROS can be used to apply online for temporary vehicle registration and almost every type of permit. Please read the TxPROS Quick Start Guide for more information on how to apply for permits online.

Customers may apply for, and self-issue, selected single-trip and time-based permits through TxPROS. Selected single-trip permits may be self-issued provided the user accepts the route generated and the vehicle size/weight does not exceed 16 feet wide, 16 feet 6 inches high, 110 feet long, and 180,000 pounds gross weight.

Ordering Permits

You must obtain an oversize/overweight permit from TxDMV if your vehicle and/or load exceeds Texas legal size and weight limits.

Order permits online through TxPROS, or call (800) 299-1700 for toll-free customer service. Please review the Telephone Menu for Motor Carriers. Permit applications are not accepted via email, but you can contact us by email for information.
