Just a heads up, they will require you to pay for the past two years that it has been expired. I just went thru this myself.

The tax office should have an "affidavit of non use" for you to sign that will exempt the prior registration fees while it was parked.
I've heard they cross reference the vehicle for parking/ moving violations and could pursue fraud charges if they find any evidence the vehicle was being driven...no proof at all, maybe it's an urban legend the DOT starts every couple of years to scare people into paying ...
Edit : found this on the Nueces Co Tax Assessor website
"What if I haven't driven the vehicle since my registration expired. Do I still pay the 20% penalty?
Anyone who re-registers after the five-day grace period can fill out a Non-Use Affidavit (Form 64), or sign the Non-Use Affidavit located on the back of the RTS 500 Receipt, if the vehicle has not been driven. The Nueces County Tax Office will then pro-rate the registration fees for the remainder of the vehicle's assigned registration year."
