Just Moved to Amarillo? Get Your Car on Texas Plates

When you move to Potter County from another state, you have 30 days to register your vehicle in Texas. The office is the Potter County tax office at 900 S. Polk, Suite 106, in Amarillo.

Bring an out-of-state title or registration to show you own the vehicle. Bring Texas liability insurance too. Use Form 130-U for the initial Texas registration.

Potter is outside the Texas emissions counties. That means a regular personal vehicle does not need an emissions test here. Commercial vehicles still follow their own rules.
