H.E.A.T.
Help End Auto Theft is a statewide vehicle registration program administered by the Texas Department of Public Safety that helps law enforcement officials identify stolen vehicles.
Public Service
Any vehicle owner in Texas can obtain decals for his / her car or truck that authorizes law enforcement officers to stop the vehicle and verify ownership between 1:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. anywhere in Texas.
Border Decals
Available to alert officials to check ownership for any vehicle being driven across the border into Mexico.
- Why Enroll?
A car is stolen in Texas every five and a half minutes. More vehicles are stolen between 1:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. than any other time. In 2001, more than 102,000 vehicles were stolen in Texas. Simply by enrolling, you make it a lot harder for a thief to drive away in your car.
Enrolling is Easy.
Just complete the attached H.E.A.T. registration application, or fill in and print out the form on the DPS web site to sign up. Your vehicle will then be entered into a statewide database accessible 24 hours a day only to law enforcement agencies. Personal and company vehicles are eligible for H.E.A.T. registration. You don't have to be a permanent Texas resident to participate in the program as long as you can provide a Texas address and phone number while in state.
