Disabled veterans parking placards and plates

Disabled veteran license plates and/or placards are only available for personal vehicles.

If you plan to apply or renew your disabled veteran license plate and/or placard, make an appointment or visit our office. Be sure to carefully review the requirements and bring in all required documentation.

To apply for a disabled veteran license plate and/or placard, you must fill out and meet the qualifications that are outlined on the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles’ Application for Disabled Veteran License Plate and/or Parking Placard (Form VTR-615).

Qualified disabled veterans are eligible for disabled veteran license plates. However, only disabled veteran license plates and placards with the International Symbol of Access (ISA) are permitted to park in disabled parking spaces.
