Farm trailer plates require tags under new law
The 57th Legislature passes a farm trailer bill allowing trailers up to 10 000 pounds gross weight to avoid brake requirements while imposing a 30 mph limit and tag display. DPS will grant a reasonable period to obtain tags, with fines for noncompliance and a commercial license if needed. Farmers previously used trailers under 4 000 pounds with no tag rule.
