§ 22-5. Presumption.  


Latest version.
  • Whenever a violation of subsections 22-3(a)(2), (a)(6)b, or (a)(14) of this chapter occurs, the registered owner of the motor vehicle is presumed to be the person who committed the violation. Proof of ownership of a vehicle may be made by a computer-generated record of the registration of the vehicle with the Texas Department of Transportation showing the name of the person to whom state license plates were issued. This proof is prima facie evidence of the ownership of the vehicle by the person to whom the certificate of registration was issued.
