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
