Form DMV-1753. Over Axle and Over Gross Weight Tolerance Permit Bond - Texas

The Form DMV-1753, known as the Over Axle and Over Gross Weight Tolerance Permit Bond, is a document used in Texas for obtaining a permit that allows vehicles to exceed the legal weight limits imposed on axles or overall gross weight. The purpose of this form is to provide financial assurance and responsibility for any potential damages caused by the permitted vehicle.

This form consists of sections that require accurate completion. It typically includes information such as the bondholder's name and address, permit details, vehicle description, bond amount, and the principal's (permit applicant's) acknowledgment and agreement to comply with the permit conditions.

When filling out Form DMV-1753, it is important to consider:

- The bond must be obtained from an authorized surety company licensed to operate in Texas.

- The form should be submitted to the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles along with any required fees and supporting documents.

This form is used when a vehicle operator or owner needs to obtain a permit to exceed the legal weight limits imposed on axles or overall gross weight. It provides financial protection to the state and ensures that the permit holder accepts responsibility for any damages that may occur due to the increased weight.

An alternative form that may be relevant is Form VTR-340, the Over Axle/Over Gross Weight Tolerance Permit Application. This form is specific to the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles and serves a similar purpose but focuses on the application process rather than the surety bond requirement. Both forms are necessary for obtaining the permit, with Form DMV-1753 addressing the financial aspect.
