Ask for the H.E.A.T. representative. Your Car is a statewide vehicle registration program aimed at reducing auto theft during night-time hours. Vehicle owners not normally using their vehicle between 1 am and 5 am sign an agreement allowing peace officers to verify ownership if the vehicle is observed being driven during H.E.A.T. hours. Owners may extend additional authority at the time of registration to have the vehicle stopped for verification 24 hours a day at the Texas-Mexico Border. Officers throughout the state have immediate access to H.E.A.T. data even if the decal has been removed.
Registration is for a four year period and the cost is one cent per vehicle.
The labels are enscribed with your vehicle identification number and your Texas Operator's License number. After the labels have been applied for several days, it imprints an invisible image on the vehicle part. Thereafter, even if the labels are removed law enforcement officials can still identify your parts or property. To participate, contact the H.E.A.T. representative at any Command Station, Substation or Store Front. After normal business hours, leave your name and daytime phone number and the program coordinator will contact you.
