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

Getting ready
- Install your sign before you need it.

- Make sure the display area is clearly part of your location.
