Resolved: webDEALER Performance Issues (10/02/2023 @ 9:30 AM)

Good morning,

The webDealer system performance issues have been resolved. The webDealer system was available
as of 11:00 PM, Friday, September 29, 2023.

Please remember that if you used an Internet Down tag, you must enter the information for that tag into 
webDealer as soon as the system is accessible. Doing this will ensure you always
have the full allocation of
unused Internet Down tags available when you need them. Also,
remember that unused Internet Down tags
are valid for one year from the date they are
printed.

We apologize for the inconvenience and any impact on you or your customers.

Informational: Texas by Texas Small Trailer Online Registration Renewals (09/29/2023 @ 3:15 PM)

Good afternoon,

The Texas by Texas (TxT) online renewals did not charge customers the Mobility/Clean
Air fee for small trailers who renewed between September 22nd through September 28th.

Customers that renewed registration for a small trailer online between September 22nd
through September 25th cannot be refunded because the sticker has already been mailed. 
For these transactions, the Internet Batch Summary and Batch Detail reports will not match
the Week/Month to Date report. 

Customers that renewed registration for a small trailer online between September 26th
through September 28th have been issued a refund and no sticker was printed. These
customers have received an email directing them to renew at their local Tax Assessor
Collectors’ office. These customers also have the option to renew online.

We apologize for the inconvenience or any impact on you and your customers.
