Helpful hints on titles and tags : 75 years of partnership in public service and memories, 1917-1992.

Abstract

This year the Texas Department of Transportation (formerly the State Department of Highways and Public Transportation and originally the Texas Highway Department) celebrates seventy-five years of public service. Over this span of time, the Department has endured the depression of the 1930's, World War II, and other numerous hardships of the 20th Century. The Department continues to flourish today due to the efforts of dedicated, loyal employees and excellent working relationships established over the years with government entities, private industry, associations, etc. It is very fitting then at this time for the Division of Motor Vehicle Titles and Registration (DMVTR) to publish this commemorative issue of Helpful Hints on Titles and Tags. In addition to the usual technical information, this issue includes a retrospective look at the cooperative effort of County Tax Assessor-Collectors and the DMVTR in administering the registration and title laws of Texas.
