HONORABLE ROBERT A DENSON
COUNTY JUDGE
KERR COUNTY
700 MAIN ST
KERRVILLE TX 78028
Dear Judge Denson:
This will acknowledge receipt of your response advising that the
Kerr County Commissioners Court has considered the options
available under the provisions of Transportation Code, Section
502.172 and Section 502.173, relating to the optional County Road
and Bridge Fee and the Child Safety Fund Fee.
The department's files will reflect that the Kerr County

$10.00 fee currently imposed by Kerr County.
The imposition of this fee will remain in effect until the original
county commissioners order is superseded by an order to change the
established extra fee or is rescinded in its entirety in accordance
with the provisions of Chapter 502 of the Transportation Code.
Sincerely,
f'~

To: ALL COUNTY JUDGES
SUBJECT: IMPOSITION OF EXTRA FEES
Chapter 502 of the Transportation Code, relating to the registration of vehicles, provides counties the
option of imposing, in addition to the registration fee, two extra fees.
The provisions of Section 502.172 provide for a county road and bridge fee in an amount that does not
exceed $10.00 for each vehicle registered in the county. An extra fee in an amount not to exceed $1.50
for each vehicle registered in the county is available under the provisions of Section 502.173 to fund a
school crossing guard program. However, vehicles registered with Machinery and Farm Trailer License
Plates are exempt from both provisions. -
The amounts of both optional fees are set by a Commissioners Court. Counties are statutorily required
to notify the department of their intent by Commissioners Court Order. The notification deadline for the
road and bridge fee is Se~ember 1st of each ,~. The deadline for notification of the school crossing
guard fee is ~ptember 10th of each year.
Please complete the attachment on the imposition of extra fees for registration year 1997. If your
response requires a County Commissioners Court Order, we request that the original order be mailed
to us no later than the date indicated. We have also included a fee chart which indicates what extra fee(s)
your county currently collects.
Your timely response would be greatly appreciated. Any questions you may have regarding this matter
may be directed to David Linzey, Director of Headquarter Operations, at (512) 465-7719 or the Customer
Information Services Branch Manager at (512) 465-7620.
