The bill, S.B. No. 2007, introduces a new provision in the Texas Transportation Code that allows applicants registering or renewing the registration of a motor vehicle to voluntarily disclose their military status. Specifically, it adds Section 502.013, which mandates that the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles provide an option for individuals to indicate if they are members of the United States armed forces during the registration process. If an applicant chooses to disclose their military status, the department is required to record this information in its vehicle registration records and include it in any related information released about the vehicle.

This legislation aims to recognize and document the military status of vehicle owners, potentially facilitating benefits or services for military personnel. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
