Texas H.E.A.T. (Help End Auto Theft) is a voluntary statewide vehicle registration program designed as a theft deterrent. Vehicle owners can sign an agreement that their vehicles may be stopped between 1:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. If peace officers observe the participating vehicle being driven anywhere in Texas during those hours, they may stop the vehicle and verify ownership.
