That is the Texas single-trip permit fee for a non-divisible oversize or overweight load. Texas charges it once, for one movement, from one origin to one destination.

If the load is over 80,000 pounds

Texas also charges a highway maintenance fee. Add it to the $60 permit fee:

Gross weight	Highway maintenance	Permit	Total
80,001–120,000 lb	$150	$60	$210
120,001–160,000 lb	$225	$60	$285
160,001–200,000 lb	$300	$60	$360
200,001 lb and above	$375	$60	$435

TxDMV’s table prints $435 as the total for 200,001 lb and above. That $435 is the $60 permit fee plus the $375 highway maintenance fee. The $35 vehicle supervision fee is added on top of that printed total. A desk paying for a 200,001 lb load pays $470, not $435. Loads at that weight also need at least 95 feet of axle spacing.

Card payments add 25 cents per permit plus 2.25%. ACH and cash do not.

This page covers general single-trip permits. Super Heavy is a separate permit above 254,300 lbs, over max axle weight, or over 200,000 lbs with less than 95 feet of axle spacing.
