TxDMV can verify that your location meets premises requirements. Whether and when an inspection happens depends on TxDMV's process for your application. Either way, the best approach is the same: be ready from day one.
What's typically reviewed
- The office: permanent, furnished and equipped
- Your sign: business name, letters at least six inches high
- Display area for retail
- Posted business hours
- That someone is present during posted hours
Getting ready
- Install your sign before you need it.
- Furnish the office as a working office: desk, chairs, records storage, phone.
- Post your hours clearly and be there during them.
- Keep your license documents organized and accessible.
- Make sure the display area is clearly part of your location.
