Texas License Plate Lookup Options
This license registration is usually aimed at keeping track of that car. They record that information so that in case the car is involved in some criminal activities the owner can be traced. License plates need to be regularly updated and this is done by ensuring your vehicle’s registration is always renewed.
There are some different types of plates in Texas depending on your needs. For example, if you own a vehicle your plates will be different from those of a motorcycle or truck. If the plates are for a particular organization, they can decide to apply for plates that are a bit customized.
People with disabilities can also apply and get special plates. These types of plates are known as the disability parking plates.
Through the Texas Public Information Act, you have the right to access accurate information from government records. If a car is involved in criminal activity or for some reasons you need to identify the owner, you can visit the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (Texas DMV). When you place a request at the Texas DMV, they will provide you with all the information that the law allows them to give to the public.
Although some information cannot be disclosed due to the law prohibiting it, you can still access information like the name of whoever that plate belongs to. You can decide to pay Texas DMV, a visit in person. You can find them at 4000 Jackson Avenue, Building 1 Austin, Texas, at the office of General Counsel. You can also send them a mail to the same address.
Apart from visiting Texas DMV, you can also look up a plate online. This process is known as the reverse license plate search. Using this method you can access online databases that have records of all plate. These databases will usually give you an address of the owner and even his/her mobile phone number. If the owner is also registered in any social media platforms, you can access his profile information like his email.
The online platform also allows access to different records on Texas criminal charges that are associated with different license plates. If you do a reverse search and get the owners name, you can also see if he/she has a criminal record.
After you do a search and get a matching hit, you should proceed with caution since the results aren’t always right. Most of the time, cars that are stolen are usually the ones involved in criminal activities. As a result, you should do a thorough follow up before jumping into a conclusion. Texas license plate lookup data is available via the FOIA.gov.
My car was stolen in 2014. My social security card was stolen as well. It was a white 1994 Acura Integra. The last location it was located in was Victoria, Texas. I even remember my SSN as well. I\’m happy to prove it. I have my birth certificate and birthplace as well. I genuinely want to get the situation resolved and get the thief taken into custody. I appreciate it, thank you. The first three letters of the license plate were CMU. It was stolen in Jacksonville, Florida. That\’s where I\’m located now.

Received a toll violation for a vehicle sold in 2015. Please verify what vehicle is registered with the personal Texas plate DNTTRP and who the owner is. Thank you
My wife\’s car has tag #cjp 3434 and we have toll tag. Driver of a 2015 Chevy truck has tag #cpj3434 and somehow NTTA is getting them mixed up and I am paying some of his tolls. Just want to know if he lives near me to argue with NTTA.

Hi,
I am looking for a license plate with my name on the plate. Can i get that?
I found a license plate in my yard with Texas tag # HZX-4167. I am just looking for the name of the owner of the vehicle so that I can return it to them. I live in a smaller sized town and most everyone knows one another, I just need a name in order to return it to its proper owner
Michael, we cannot give out that information. Your best option is to give it to a police officer or drop it off at the DMV directly.
