Ok. Some good things. Linked my vehicles and drivers license in the app. Was able to renew my vehicle registration using the app. Or I thought so. I did not receive an email or text to confirm. Will give it a few days and check again. Next tried to renew my drivers license after linking it in the app. Renewal is not an option and there is no explanation as to how to proceed with renewal. App is really lacking in feedback to user. Needs a lot of work.Update: Was trying to renew car registration and was proceeding until interrupted by a phone call. When I returned to the app to complete the registration what I had started was no longer there. I started a new renewal only to find I must wait 24 hours. Really annoying and amateurish.

Hi again- We understand the 24 hour delay does not offer an ideal user experience. Right now, this logic is in place because of TxDMV's backend system requirements and TxT must follow suit. TxT does provide some messaging at the beginning of the registration renewal process indicating you must complete the renewal in a single session to avoid the delay. The app should also send a push notification indicating that your session is ending soon. However, we fully understand that interruptions happen. We appreciate your ongoing use of TxT and your updated review and feedback. PREVIOUS RESPONSEThanks for your review and feedback! You should receive an email confirmation for your vehicle registration renewal from TxT. If you don't, please contact the Texas.gov Help Desk - www.texas.gov/help. Once your renewal is reviewed and approved by your local county tax assessor, you can track the status of your sticker in the app from the Services>Recent Orders tab or the Documents>Vehicles tab. Regarding your driver license renewal, the Department of Public Safety determines your eligibility to renew online. If the "renew" option isn't available to you, then you're likely not eligible for online renewal this time and would need to visit a DPS office to renew. If you have questions about your eligibility status, please contact DPS. We hope this info helps!

Very immature app. Scanning existing registration doesn’t work even though that functionality is in the app - manual entry does work. No option to specify credit card has same addr as the mailing addr I entered for the registration, so had to enter that twice. I clicked to start renewal on one vehicle but cancelled prior to complete - now the all says I can’t renew that vehicle because the record is locked, so recommends I login again in 24 hours when it has become unlocked. I wanted to renew multiple vehicles in one sitting but it made me choose between entering CC info for each renewal or saving my CC info on the govt site. I’d prefer not to save the CC info but that choice was a pain. It made me choose between mail or email notification of upcoming renewal - this is minor but why not allow both. Overall lots of data entry required to set up TxT, way more than renewing with TxDmv - I don’t understand why the TxDmv info couldn’t have been transferred automatically. Hopefully this is all one time initial use overhead and next year the process will be easier than TxDmv was…To the developers - I understand v1.0 is usually missing functionality and ease of use. Please keep at it and improve it with time. Lots of potential here to simplify lives. Thx

Thank you so much for your candid review and constructive feedback. We will definitely share these insights with our team as we work to continue improving TxT for Texans. One quick note about the 24-hour lockout - we do realize that's a significant pain point for users. Currently, once you start the registration renewal flow, you have to fully complete the process in a single session due to back-end system processing by TxDMV. We are working to add more messaging that warns users about the ramifications of leaving the registration renewal flow in an upcoming release.

Been waiting for this for years! Setup was easy and intuitive. Had my Drivers License and all four family vehicles linked to my account in less than 10 minutes. iPhone camera did a great job of scanning barcodes on DL and Registration Stickers which made adding them to my account very easy. Got a notification right away that two of the vehicles were within 90 days of their renewal deadlines and I was able to start the process right away, from my phone. Can’t wait for more services to be added… talking to you Texas Parks & Wildlife 😉

Thanks for the great review! And we're looking forward to adding more services too.

Overall, I love what this app does. There are two things missing that I’d love to see. First, it doesn’t work with military/veteran specialty license plates where taxes are reduced or waived. You’ll start the renewal process and then it will return an error message after it charges your credit card a $2 processing fee. Essentially, if you are one of the many military plate holders in the state, you still have to renew in person. Second, would like for the drivers license to work with the digital id functionality of Apple Wallet. This is already available in 9 states, with another 8 committed to the transition. Additionally, US passports will work as a digital ID in the next iteration of iOS. If those two things were added/fixed, this would be a five star app.
