eTITLE Release Date and Additional eTITLE Training for Dealers

The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV) has completed user acceptance testing of eTITLE, and the new functionality will become available August 19, 2019. eTITLE is a new feature in webDEALER that facilitates the secure electronic transfer of titles between dealers in the wholesale market, making the title transfer process faster and easier than ever before. With eTITLE, electronic titles can also be released directly to webDEALER by a lienholder participating in the Electronic Lien and Title (ELT) Program.

A new ELT release type will be added with this release, and lienholders have been made aware of this functionality. Dealers will now have the option to request a lienholder send a paper title or electronic title when paying off a trade-in vehicle. When requesting a lienholder send a title electronically to your dealership, ensure you provide the lienholder your general distinguishing number and webDEALER Dealer ID, located in the Account Details section of webDEALER.
