About this file
This is a specifications sheet for Texas Highway Patrol vehicle decals issued by the State of Texas. The document outlines detailed technical and design requirements for three distinct decal types to be applied to law enforcement vehicles: State Trooper decals for front quarter panels, Texas Department of Public Safety state map decals for front door panels, and Texas Highway Patrol decals for door panels beneath the state map. All digital renderings must be provided in PDF format, and the contractor is responsible for furnishing all necessary components to deliver complete, ready-to-operate decals that meet accepted industry standards.
The specifications establish strict material and manufacturing requirements for all decals, including reflective film brightness values at specific observation angles, thickness tolerances of 0.007 to 0.008 inches, and pressure-activated adhesive capable of application between 40 and 100 degrees Fahrenheit with removability for up to seven years. The State Trooper decal requires white reflective 3M Scotchlite film in 3-inch by 32.25-inch dimensions using Aachen BT Bold font. The Texas Department of Public Safety decal specifies a 15-inch by 18.75-inch state map shape with white and gold reflective materials, Franklin Gothic Extra Condensed font, and a centered white star with reverse-printed text. The Texas Highway Patrol decal requires a 2.25-inch by 31-inch white reflective design in Aachen BT Bold font positioned below the state map decal. All decals must utilize 3M premasking tape with protective liners removable without water or solvents, and contractors may use equivalent materials meeting the specified performance standards.
