House Bill 3288 and Revisions to the Texas Motor Vehicle Transfer Notification (Form VTR-346)

Posted on August 29, 2023 by TxDMV

Please review and distribute as appropriate.

A Vehicle Transfer Notification (VTN) allows a seller to notify the department of the transfer of a used motor vehicle. The VTN helps protect the seller from criminal or civil liability involving the vehicle if submitted within 30 days of the date of sale. Submission of a properly completed VTN adds a remark on the motor vehicle record indicating the vehicle has been transferred. The remark remains until the buyer applies for title and a new title is issued.

As a result of House Bill 3288, 88th Legislature, Regular Session, the seller’s telephone number and the buyer’s full name, address and telephone number are now required on the VTN for vehicles transferred September 1, 2023, or later. If this information is not provided, the department will reject the VTN and will not indicate the transfer on the motor vehicle record.

The department’s online submission of the VTN for both the public and licensed Texas motor vehicle dealers was programmed to accommodate these changes with deployment of the Registration and Title System Release 23.4 to be effective September 1, 2023. In addition, the attached Texas Motor Vehicle Transfer Notification (Form VTR-346) has been revised and will be available on the department’s website at www.txdmv.gov.

Thank you,

Posted on August 28, 2023 by TxDMV

Good afternoon,

The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV) is aware of a display issue in webDEALER
on the Payments Completed page. When transactions are approved only one payment is
created as it should; however, the Payments Completed page shows the same payment for
each transaction that was part of the payment group. For example, if there was a payment
group for 10 title transactions, the Payments Completed page reflects the same payment
10 times. 

Counties can continue to process payments in webDEALER and this display issue should not
impact end of day balancing. 

We will provide an update once this issue has been resolved.

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