The Consumer Price Index rose 11.93% over the preceding state fiscal biennium, but TDLR never agendized the biennial VSF fee review required by Occupations Code Section 2303.1552, according to a TowShark review of every 2025 commission meeting agenda and published minutes. A mid-size operator running 50 standard vehicles and 4 heavy vehicles is losing roughly $56,800 a year; TDLR did not respond to TowShark's request for comment.
Operator takeaway
Texas VSF operators are absorbing an 11.93% CPI increase the state was required to account for and did not. Find your lot size in the tables. That is the money TDLR left on your table.
