What a mess Gumbeaux. It took a long time here in Bell county but my lady was super nice about it. She didn’t have the slightest clue as to what was going on.

"Well, it says that it makes your ROV/UTV legal to drive on the road in specific circumstances."

"No it doesn't" they both reply in perfect unison.

"Well then what does it do?" I politely ask.

"It's an identifier" one of the fine ladies says.

"An identifier for what?" I kindly reply.

They all 3 look at each other.

"It says on the TXDMV site that with a license plate you can drive on a road with posted speed limit under 35 MPH, within 2 miles from home, yada yada yada" I respectfully point out.

"No it doesn't" one of them says. I've now found their leader and spokesperson.

"So what does it say?" I reply with the nicest facial expression I can muster.

"I don't know, but it doesn't say that."

"Would you like to see? I have it pulled up right here." I retort in a very helpful way.

"No" she snaps.

"Okay, can I still get the plate?"

"Sure, but I don't know why you want a license plate for a vehicle that is only legal on private property."

"I'd like to identify it" I respond.

They sold me a plate. $14.75

Hell, maybe she was right. I kind of want to get a ticket now so I can see what a judge says. I'm curious.



I think She is right and wrong, it’s legal after the local authority has adopted the statue is how I understand it.

Some cities my decide no and not adopt.

Amateur, it’s for when you out run them through the creek crossing and field, this is so they can’t retaliate, when your being your normal role model citizen the next day.

Don’t know about BP but BIL gets heated when he has to run.



I've met them both. I don't think either wants to get any exercise that way... bolt roflmao

At some point in our conversation I did ask if it was county specific. She told me no. UTVs were not allowed on public roads anywhere in the state, ever. I didn't even bother telling her about some of the beaches or the public streets in Port O'Connor before this law was ever even passed.

Ya she is not very knowledgeable about her job. Technically you can already if you have slow moving triangle and are within 25 miles of farm/ranch.

Yep,
I just have an orange triangle. My diesel mule won’t even go 30 mph, and I carry a 500,000 liability policy.
To heck with the license plate.
