Need tips for (relatively) painless vehicle registration facilities in the Austin area.  I'll happily pay a convenience fee at a title shop, etc. if it cuts down the insane tax office wait times.  Central/north is better than others, but I am willing to learn.  Registration has not expired, insurance and ID are in hand, and passing emissions inspection is current.

Go to Johnson City and register there. You don't have to register in the same County.

I had to get my license renewed, I drove to Seguin and had it done the next day. Didn't have to wait 3 months for an appt.

You mean to just pay your annual registration and pick up your new sticker?  HEB customer service, bro.  If it's open.

Yeah pretty much any grocery store

Sticker is at point of sale but if you are more than a few weeks expired or don’t have the green renewal paper they won’t do it for you.

If you do online, you’ll get a receipt within about 48hrs and that is good for proof of registration.

It's good thru Thursday, I just don't want to drive around on an expired sticker (even if I have the receipt).  I'll try HEB tomorrow.  Thanks.

Well, that couldn't have gone better.  Sticker Stop on Burnet just north of 183 got me in and out in less than 15 minutes, and it took me about 2 minutes at the Burnet/Koenig HEB to get my sticker.  Thanks for the tips.

Some time after online payment, you get a receipt that they expressly tell you is good for proof of registration.

I clearly misunderstood the assignment. You could have stayed home and smoked your chiba so long as you have a printer. Also, the fuzz wont mess with you if you are within a month of expiration if they see it and if they run your shit after you register online it will show up anyways.  

Point stands, if you need a new license because you are 6 months past expiration and dont ever look at your license because you are old and dont run drugs, go on a road trip. Austin times are insane but odds are good you can get in the same week in surrounding counties. Trust me I stayed in a holiday inn awhile back.

jimmyjazz is clearly riding dirty and doesn’t want to give the cops any reason to pull him over. smart man. 

First thing I thought.  It's good through the 5th day of the month after registration, and the online receipt is good for 30 days, just in case anyone else is needing the info.

 

Plus, isn't the sticker pretty much literal, window-dressing at this point.  A plate scan tells them whether your registration is up to date.

I think that's true -- I got caught by the plate scan on MoPac last year (different vehicle).  I had completely forgotten to renew that registration and I was a couple of months over.
