Yeah - you see what they (Tex state gov) did to us on the new trailer registration fee.
Starting Sept 1, every trailer, no matter how small, will be charged the same fee as if you were pullin 6000 pounds !!!
My new annual trailer fee for my little Pathfinder now costs me $55 !!!
State gov is getting as bad as federal - they wouldn't dare CUT SPENDING - just raise FEES !
Geez - I think I will start fishing out of a darn KAYAK !

I bought my 1st boat in 1990 and they first trip I got a warning from a game warden about getting my boat trailer inspected. I got it inspected for a few years in the 1990's and only recently started getting my boat trailer inspected again due to they are starting to enforce it.

Really a joke all they do is check your lights and make sure your trailer is not falling apart. Guess they are starting to enforce it due to complaints from people driving around trailers that really should not be on the road or state needs more money.

If I would see improvements for this money I wouldn't have a problem with it. Such as them fixing roads in areas going to boat landings or giving the money to DWLF to improve fishing or hunting programs. Money will probably just go into the general fund.
