The maximum time delay permitted to disarm the system after re-entry is 20 seconds. It requires a second system or device to activate the ignition electrical system. Owners can grant additional authority at the time of registration to have their vehicle stopped any time if it is being driven from Texas into Mexico. The color-coded decal will be placed on the inside of the front windshield and another decal will be placed on the outside of the rear windshield. Vehicle owners may register their vehicles at most Texas law enforcement agencies.
Registration is valid for as long as an individual owns the vehicle.
Registration does not prevent the owner or anyone to whom the owner grants permission from driving the vehicle during the program hours of enforcement. The vehicle owner agrees to advise anyone granted permission to operate the vehicle of the H.E.A.T. registration, and its provisions. The vehicle owner agrees to and understands that peace officers will take certain precautions when making a stop on a registered vehicle during the program hours because of its potential stolen status. Your vehicle information will be entered into a statewide database to provide instant 24-hour information for law enforcement agencies. To withdraw from the program or transfer possession of the vehicle, the owner must fully remove the Texas H.E.A.T. decals and notify the registering agency in writing of such removal.
