According to section 683.001 of the texas transportation code, "abandoned Nuisance Vehicle" means a motor vehicle that is?

• A. Of a condition only to be junked, crushed or dismantled
• B. At least 10 years old
• C. Inoperable and unregistered
• D. Abandoned on public property

Answer: (A)

The key idea is the vehicle’s condition. An abandoned nuisance vehicle is defined by being in a state that makes it suitable only for junking, crushing, or dismantling—essentially, it’s a vehicle that is intended for salvage rather than for continued use on the road. Age isn’t the determining factor, and simply being inoperable or unregistered isn’t enough by itself. Likewise, being on public property is about where the vehicle sits, not the specific condition that marks it as a nuisance. So the best answer is the one that centers on the vehicle’s condition indicating it’s meant for junking or salvage.
