What is a Texas DOT Number or TxDMV Number?
A Texas DOT Number (TxDOT Number) or TxDMV Number is a registration number issued by the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV) to businesses operating commercial motor vehicles within the state of Texas. It serves as a unique identifier for motor carriers involved in transporting goods or passengers within state boundaries, a process known as intrastate commerce. When registering, you have the option to choose between a one-year or two-year registration period, depending on your business needs.
To secure a Texas DOT Number, your business must meet the required insurance minimums, and your insurance coverage must remain active in the Motor Carrier Credentialing System (MCCS) for as long as your business operates within the state.
Minimum Insurance Requirements
To register for a TxDOT Number, it’s essential to ensure your vehicle is properly insured. This includes meeting the minimum coverage requirements for your vehicle type and keeping your insurance policy active while operating in Texas. As an intrastate motor carrier, you must register and submit evidence of insurance or financial responsibility to establish eligibility for Texas operating authority. Failure to register your insurance with the state can result in fines, penalties, or administrative sanctions, which could lead to the suspension of your certificate, license, or vehicle registration.
