Texas Permitting and Routing Optimization System (TxPROS) Upgrades on April 16th, 2025

The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV) will release an update to TxPROS at 6 p.m., April 16th, 2025. We do not anticipate any downtime. This update will introduce a variety of new and improved features designed to enhance the overall customer experience. Key enhancements include:

• The permit PDF will now include a QR code allowing direct access to the permit details when scanned.
• Well servicing unit mileage permits that exceed 254,300 GVW will include the generated route and allow modifications to the route prior to submission for issuance.
• Permits that must be mailed will allow the permit PDF to be viewed and verified. Changes can be made prior to the payment, issuance, and mailing of the permit.
• In accordance with Texas Administrative Code, a form will be required when requesting a sticker replacement for permits that require a windshield sticker. A valid reason for replacement will be required.
• Vehicle inventories will be sorted in true alphanumeric order so that the user may locate power units and trailers more efficiently.
• Additional email addresses or fax numbers may be added to the permit delivery method. 
• The loading method for multiple items can be selected (end to end, side by side, stacked, nested).
• A drop-down menu for vehicle make will be available.
• To ensure accuracy, the tire width, the number of tires, and axle weight will be verified when a substantial variance is entered between axles and the overall length when overhang is included.
• Tire size may be entered in inches or millimeters.
• Route inspection permits can be copied without being tied to the previous route inspection.
• The map will offer the option to view TxDOT Districts and county lines.
• In the event of a a disaster declaration and the suspension of oversize/overweight permitting requirements by the Governor to respond to the disaster, TxPROS will allow for the generation of a route to be used with the declaration.
• Various enhancements have been made to the notes and document features.
