Regulatory TREND. TxDMV Fee Increase. County Tax Assessors Opposed.

What fee does Texas DMV want to increase? DMV proposes a $5 processing and handling fee, with a $1.25 discount for online renewals

Why are county tax assessors/collectors opposed to the $5 processing fee? The move to encourage online renewals, would cause counties to lose fees.
