Please review and distribute as appropriate.

The latest update to the Motor Vehicle Title Manual (attached) is now available via Registration and Title System (RTS) workstations and at www.txdmv.gov.

We welcome your feedback and encourage you to email any comments or suggestions to VTR_Title_Reg-Manual-Update@txdmv.gov (please note the underscores between VTR and Title and between Title and Reg).

Updates for this release are marked with red change bars in the text. 

Chapter 23 – Foreclosure of Miscellaneous Liens
Section 23.7, “Verification of Title and/or Registration,” was updated to clarify when a verification of record obtained from a private entity is acceptable, in the event the verification does not match the current RTS record at the time of title transfer.
