Tex
as law allows a license holder to display or sell certain types of motor vehicles at shows and
exhibitions if the license holder notifies the Motor Vehicle Division before the event takes place.
Not all public displays of new motor vehicles qualify as a show or exhibition. A license holder is not
required to provide notice for the following displays, but may only display a Manufacturer’s Standard
Retail Price (MSRP) or a Monroney label or sticker on or near the vehicle:
a public display of a new motor vehicle if the license holder’s employee or agent will not be
present at the display;
a public display of a new motor vehicle at a charity, civic, or community event (e.g. fundraisers,
rodeos, parades, and fairs); or
a new vehicle displayed at a private event that is not open to the public.
Utility trailer/semi-trailer license holders are not required to give notice before participating in a show or
exhibition.
