68-A INSPECTIONS CANCELLED FOR APRIL 1, 2020

Out of an abundance of caution regarding the health of our community, we do not want to unduly expose any citizen unnecessarily to any health risk.

As a result, we have made the decision to cancel our 68-A Inspection that was scheduled for Wednesday, April 1, 2020. Future scheduled inspections will be re-evaluated as that date nears and an announcement will be made concerning them.

A Form VTR-68-A is an inspection conducted by a law enforcement officer to verify the identify of a vehicle for registration purposes. This inspection is often needed to obtain a bonded title, register a homemade trailer, register a vehicle that previously hasn’t had a title or other reasons.

The Corpus Christi Police Department does not require you to get a 68-A completed on your trailer, but the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles does. According to Texas Transportation Code 501.032, any item that was never assigned a VIN or item that the VIN has been lost, removed, or obliterated; must get one in order to register that item. In this case, that item is a trailer. The CCPD Auto Theft Task Force normally conducts the 68-A inspections on Wednesday mornings in order to assist the citizens of Corpus and surrounding counties with obtaining a VIN through TXDOT.
