A state vehicle used primarily for transporting individuals receiving services from a facility is exempt from the requirement in Texas Transportation Code, §721.002, to have "Texas Department of Aging and Disability Services" printed on the vehicle. The purpose served by this exemption is to provide confidentiality, safety, and normalization for individuals receiving services and to reduce the stigma associated with mental retardation.
