JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO, Texas –
As of April 15, Security Forces at all Joint Base San Antonio locations will enforce all expired vehicle registrations, driver licenses and state identification cards.
This in keeping with Texas state law, coinciding with the end of temporary waivers for vehicle registration and driver licenses passed by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott during the COVID-19 pandemic.
There is no grace period after the conclusion of the waiver and police can start ticketing motorists operating a vehicle without a current registration sticker or current registration receipt. This will also include those individuals with an expired driver’s license or state ID.
For more information, check the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles website at https://www.txdmv.gov/covid-19. Before renewing registration, Texans will need to obtain a passing vehicle inspection at the state vehicle inspection station of their choice, unless their vehicle is exempt from inspection requirements.
The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles does not issue driver licenses or state ID cards. Texans should contact the Texas Department of Public Safety at https://www.dps.texas.gov/driverlicense/ for these services.
