Title Application Processing for Courtesy Deliveries

Texas DMV


The following provides guidance regarding the processing of title applications for courtesy deliveries. A courtesy delivery is when a vehicle is sold to Texas residents by either an out of state dealership, or a dealership that is not located a convenient distance from the purchaser and is later delivered to the purchaser by a Texas dealership who agrees to assist with the delivery. The dealer retailing the motor vehicle to the purchaser must complete all title and sales documents and may provide a Texas dealer with authorization to submit the title application to the county tax office for processing on the dealer’s behalf.

Courtesy delivery applications cannot be processed in webDEALER since the Texas dealer submitting the title application is not the retailing dealer. As a result, Texas dealers submitting courtesy delivery title applications on the retail dealer’s behalf must submit these applications to the county tax office outside of webDEALER.

County tax offices must process these applications in the Registration and Title System and should not reject the application for processing in webDEALER. 

Reminder: The Title Application Processing Guidelines document outlines the most common title applications that can or cannot be processed in webDEALER to assist dealers and county tax offices with application handling. This document is updated as needed, and is located on our HB 718 resources tab on our website: House Bill 718 Implementation | TxDMV.gov  

If you have any questions, please contact your local Texas Department of Motor Vehicles Regional Service Center.

Thank you,

Annette Quintero, Division Director
Vehicle Titles and Registration Division
Texas Department of Motor Vehicles

Inventory Management System (IMS) Ordering Functionality for Dealers

Texas DMV


Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV) has made new system features and performance improvements to the Inventory Management System (IMS). Dealers can now order additional plates from the IMS! As a reminder, plate orders can only be submitted if you have used over 50% of your allotment.

For your convenience, we have created an additional easy-to-follow training video covering the ordering plates process. This short video is just a click away – simply click on the play icon (shown below) on the Product Orders page:

The recorded training is also available on our TxDMV YouTube channel and our website.

We appreciate your patience as we continue to make enhancements to the IMS to better support your business operations.

New TxPROS Payment Process

Beginning September 29, 2025, TxPROS will offer a new shopping cart payment feature. This enhancement will allow customers to add multiple permits to their “shopping cart” and pay for them in a single transaction.

Permits eligible for self-issuance will still have the option to immediately submit payment when the permit is ready to be issued.

As part of this update, TxDMV will no longer accept payment for permits by phone.

If You Place a Phone Order or Submit a Permit Request to the Motor Carrier Division (MCD) to Process

  • MCD will place the permit in your shopping cart, and you will receive an email notification that the permit is pending payment.
  • To complete payment, log in to your TxPROS account and select “Shopping Cart” on the customer dashboard.
  • Permits will not be issued until the payment is received.

Payment Deadline

Payment must be submitted by midnight the day the permit is added to your cart, or the permit will be removed from the cart. 

Need Help?

  • Watch the TxPROS “Navigating the Shopping Cart” training video: https://youtu.be/B8TVmk1HxgU
  • Watch the TxPROS “Paying for a Permit” training video: https://youtu.be/mdtyjYrjHqU
  • Need a TxPROS login or have questions? Contact the TxDMV Motor Carrier Division at 1-800-299-1700, option 2.
