...and why can't I register my vehicle?
Section 502.185 of the Texas Transportation Code allows a freeze on the auto registration of those who owe a city and/or county money for a fine or fee that is past due. The vehicle registration block can only be removed by paying your fines and fees.
If someone else received a ticket on my vehicle, will I still be denied my registration?
If the vehicle is “Scofflawed” you will not be able to renew your registration until the matter is resolved with the Municipality or issuing Entity.
Where do I pay an outstanding fine, ticket or warrant?
The local Municipality or Entity that issued the fine, ticket or warrant. Please visit: City Payment Maps or JP Office
I paid my citation in full but the Tax Office denied my registration. What should I do?
Bring a copy of your paid receipt so that we can verify and renew your registration.
After I’ve made my payment in full, how long does it take before the record is removed from the Dallas County Wanted website?
It takes at least 7 business days for the record to be removed from the website.
What if I’ve made arrangements through the courts to make payments or to work community service?
Bring supporting documentation from the court showing that arrangements are in place or community service is being worked. Our office will review it.
I purchased a vehicle and the current owner has outstanding fines, will I be denied the transfer?
No; the new owner is not penalized for outstanding fines from the previous owner.
