Donate $5 or more when you register your vehicle.
Texas State Parks need $4.6 million to help keep parks open. By donating when you renew your vehicle registration (car, truck, motorcycle, RV, boat trailer, camper trailer, etc.) you are helping keep state parks opened.
The 82nd Texas legislature provided this new and easy way for Texans to make donations to Texas State Parks when they register their vehicle by mail, at the county tax office or online in counties which offer online payment.
The Texas Comptroller estimates this new donation opportunity will generate about $1.6 million a year and will provide critical operating dollars for state parks to help keep parks open for all to enjoy.
Boat Registration Renewals
You can also donate $5 to State Parks when you renew your boat registration online, at a TPWD Law Enforcement field office or at a participating County Tax Office.
Simply write in your donation of $5 or more to State Parks on your vehicle registration form.
