💡 DID YOU KNOW? If you receive a citation for expired vehicle registration you may be eligible to have the citation dismissed by taking the proper steps!

To request a dismissal, you must:
✅ Pay the required late registration penalty fee to the Tax Assessor’s Office and show your receipt
✅ Provide the court with proof of your current registration
✅ Pay the court’s required processing fee

IMPORTANT: If you enter a plea and pay the citation instead, you may no longer be eligible to have the citation dismissed afterward.

Before paying an expired registration citation, check with the court to make sure you understand your options.

Members of their family spoke about losing their daughter and sister Aspen to an impaired driver last year. Mayor Kilgore introduced the family, with participation by Lake Travis Fire Rescue Texas Department of Transportation Lakeway Police Department City of Lakeway Government staff and members of the community. Informational booths and impaired driving simulators were also set up in the courtroom.

🚗 The 100 Deadliest Days for Teen Drivers Are Here 🚗
Between Memorial Day and Labor Day, teen crash fatalities spike. These summer months are known as the 100 Deadliest Days, and one of the biggest culprits? Distracted driving.

📵 Put the phone down. No text, call, post or snap is worth a life.
🍔 Save the snacks for later. Eating behind the wheel steals your focus and your hands.

Your life, and others', depends on your full attention. Talk to your teens, be a good role model, and stay safe this summer! ☀️
