and shall contain a brief description
of the vehicle to be registered. Said
description, in case of a new motor

provided, however, that the owner
of a vehicle previously registered in
any State for the preceding or cur-
rent year may in lieu of filing an ap-
plication as hereinbefore directed,

fer receipts, if any, issued for the
registration or transfer of the vehicle
for the preceding calendar year, andsaid receipt or receipts shall be ac-
cepted by the county tax collector

the registration of the vehicle, pro-
vided said receipts show that the ap-
plicant is the rightful owner thereof.
Provided, however, that should an
owner or a claimed owner of a motor
vehicle or automobile offer to reg-
ister same but has lost or misplaced
the registration receipt or transfer,
then upon his furnishing satisfactory
evidence to the tax collector by affi-
davit or otherwise that he is the real
owner of same, then shall it become
the duty of the tax collector to issue
hiam license therefor. It shall be the
duty of the tax collector to date each
registration receipt issued for a ve-
hicle the same date that application
is made for registration of such ve-
hicles. Owners of motor vehicles,
trailers and semi-trailers, which are
the property of, and used exclusively
in the service of the United States
Government, the State of Texas, or
any county or city thereof, shall ap-
ply annually to register all such ve-
hicles, but shall not be required to
pay the registration fees herein pre-
scribed provided that affidavit is
made at the time of registration by
a person who has the proper author-
ty that such vehicles are the prop-
erty of and used exclusively in the
service of the United States Govern-
ment, the State of Texas, or county
or city thereof. Application shall be
made for the registration of a new
vehicle for the unexpired portion of
the year in which it is acquired be-
fore it is operated on the public high-
ways; except that a new vehicle may
be operated temporarily by a dealer

its purchaser under a special dealer's
cardboard number as provided in
Chapter 211, General and Special
Laws of the Regular Session of the
Fortieth Legislature. The year for
the purpose of registration of motor
vehicles shall be April 1 to March 31
(both inclusive), of the next succeed-
ing calendar year, and may be re-
ferred to as the 'Motor Vehicle Reg-
istration Year,' and current year
where used in the statutes relating
to payment of registration fees shall
mean that motor vehicle registration
year. Application for the renewal of
registration of a vehicle and for each
chauffeur's license for any motor ve-
hicle registration year shall be made
not later than April 1st of such
year."31
