I just got a renewal notice from Travis County to renew the sticker on my truck, but I'm moving to Ft. Bend County in about a month or so, so should I still renew in Travis County now and just worry about it next year? What will I need to do next year? Does the vehicle need to be registered in the county you actually live in? Should I just ignore this registration and go register at Ft. Bend Co? How would I go about doing that?

a lot of Qs i know... Thanks in advance guys:)

When does your truck registration expire?  What number is on it?

When are you moving?

If it were me, I would register with my new address online now.

Doesn't matter where you register it as long as it is registered in Texas.  Inspection is where you might have issues.  Some counties require emission test while others don't.

I would register it in Fort Bend County (that's where I am) just so you will get your renewal in the mail next year.  Legally, it doesn't matter where it is registered as far as I know.

I found this web site https://rts.texasonline.state.tx.us/NASApp/txdotrts/AddressChangeServlet. It says you can change the mailing address online, but to change the vehicle owner's address you have to download/print/mail a form.  If you aren't returning to your old address this may be the way to go.

If you want to go in person here are the locations http://www.co.fort-bend.tx.us/ContactUs.asp?sitePage=5767&DepartmentID=21510&LastBreadCrumb=Contact%20Us
