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.

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

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 😉
