Good evening,

Details: TxDMV is aware of an issue in IVTRS/TxT where customers were under charged for 
their renewal. A permanent fix was implemented Friday night (3/3).

Workaround: The pending TxT/IVTRS renewals were processed Friday night (3/3). Counties
will receive a 99-report covering both 3/2 and 3/3. The pending TxT/IVTRS renewals with
release dates 3/2-3/6 with incorrect fees were automatically declined; those customers will
receive a refund and a renewal declined letter. VTR recommends that the counties tell these
customers to come into the county for their renewal or try again online.

Thank you,

Resolved: IVTRS/TxT Issue (03/03/2023 @ 10:52 PM)

Good morning,

Details:  TxDMV is aware of an issue in IVTRS/TxT where customers are under charged for 
their renewal. We are working on a permanent solution to this problem.

Workaround: TxDMV cancelled the renewal approval and sticker printing for Thursday (3/2).
These renewals will be reviewed and any with incorrect fees will be rejected. Rejections will
result in a refund to the customer, an email to the customer, and require that customer to
initiate another online renewal. This also means the counties will not receive their 99 report
this morning.

Tonight (3/3) TxDMV will re-enable the process to transition the online renewals (registrations
updated, stickers printed).  Tonight’s run will include the Thursday night records.

 
Thank you,

Resolved: Charge Fee for Correct Title Rejection in RTS POS (02/21/2023 @ 08:20 PM)

Good afternoon,

The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV) is aware of registration fee
issues where counties are attempting to process a Texas Title with an ownership
evidence code of “Out of State”, where the Texas record for the title was
previously filed in the Registration and Title System (RTS) as a Registration
Purposes Only (RPO).  This issue applies to the Out of State ownership evidence 
code only.  Support Staff are currently troubleshooting the issue.

Workaround / Suggested Action

TxDMV is requesting that counties pause on processing Texas Titles where owner
evidence is out-of-state and the Texas record was previously an RTS RPO until
further notice.  In the event that this specific transaction type has been processed,
counties should void the transaction and wait to reprocess the transaction once a fix
has been implemented.

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

TxDMV will continue to provide updates as troubleshooting continues for this issue.
