REMINDER: Insurance Companies Required to use webSALVAGE for Owner Retained Reporting

Posted on December 19, 2024 by TxDMV

Texas DMV

.

Please review and distribute as appropriate.

Effective January 1, 2025, insurance companies are required to submit all Owner Retained Reports electronically through webSALVAGE in lieu of mailing the paper Owner Retained Report (Form VTR-436) to the department for processing. This change is a result of the recent adoption of Texas Administrative Code §217.83(c)(1) to support the modernization of the department’s operations.

As a reminder, the department encourages you to immediately start submitting Owner Retained Reports electronically through webSALVAGE. If you are not set up to use webSALVAGE, you can easily get started by visiting the webSALVAGE login page at https://webdealer.txdmv.gov/title/salvageLogin, select the “Create New User” button, and following the prompts. After your entity account is set up, the administrator can add new users, manage their permissions, and remove users as needed.

webSALVAGE allows for electronic corrections and retractions of Owner Retained Reports, as well as the ability to print receipts. In addition, a user may specify whether the damaged major component part(s) may be repaired or must be replaced – the department encourages completion of this permissible information. The attached webSALVAGE Owner Retained Addendum provides further processing details and can also be found on our website at webSALVAGE_Owner-Retained_Addendum.pdf (txdmv.gov).

While the majority of transactions can be submitted electronically, there may be some scenarios where a physical Owner Retained Report (Form VTR-436) will need to be submitted to the department for processing. webSALVAGE will inform the user when this is necessary.

Thank you,

Reminder: Texas vehicle inspection changes coming soon

Posted on December 17, 2024 by TxDMV

Texas DMV

NEWS RELEASE

Reminder: Texas vehicle inspection changes coming soon

New law eliminates most vehicle safety inspections

(AUSTIN, Texas – December 17, 2024) Beginning January 1, 2025, Texas vehicle owners will no longer need to obtain a safety inspection prior to vehicle registration. House Bill 3297, passed during the 88th Legislature in 2023, eliminates the safety inspection program for non-commercial vehicles.

The new law maintains the annual $7.50 safety inspection fee collected at the time of vehicle registration. Texans will see this fee labeled as the Inspection Program Replacement Fee on their registration renewal notice. Owners registering a new vehicle will pay a $16.75 Inspection Program Replacement Fee to cover the first two years of registration.

State law will still require obtaining a passing vehicle emissions inspection in the following 17 counties prior to vehicle registration:

  • Brazoria County
  • Fort Bend County
  • Parker County
  • Collin County
  • Galveston County
  • Rockwall County
  • Dallas County
  • Harris County
  • Tarrant County
  • Denton County
  • Johnson County
  • Travis County
  • El Paso County
  • Kaufman County
  • Williamson County
  • Ellis County
  • Montgomery County

2025 Calendar and Application Manager Dates

Posted on December 17, 2024 by TxDMV

Please review and distribute as appropriate.

Attached are two files providing both a calendar and a table listing format of the Gregorian and Application Manager (AM) dates for calendar year 2025.

The AM date is part of the transaction identification number that prints on receipts and certain reports. This information is helpful when reviewing reports that list transactions only by their AM dates and not Gregorian dates. The following example denotes the position of the AM date:

Transaction number: 01534945686163051

The underlined and bolded five-digit number is the AM date. It occupies the position of digits 7 through 11 in a transaction number. The number can be found on the Gregorian calendar under the day of the particular month. For example, the number 45686 is listed under “January” and under “31.” Therefore, the Gregorian date for this transaction would be January 31, 2025.

Paper Registration Renewal Notice Incorrect Fee Calculation

Posted on December 13, 2024 by TxDMV

Please review and distribute as appropriate.

The recent 24.3.1 Registration and Title System release that deployed October 12, 2024, introduced the display of the INSPECTION REPLACEMENT FEE and the EMISSIONS INSPECTION on the vehicle registration renewal notice. We identified a fee calculation issue on the paper Registration Renewal Notices. These paper Registration Renewal Notices did not display the correct fees for emissions and non-emissions county customers. This issue affects a small subset of Texans, approximately 4% of registration renewals due in January and February 2025.  

The correction to the fee calculation on the paper Registration Renewal Notices was deployed on the evening of December 9, 2024. Texas Department of Motor Vehicle (TxDMV) systems will continue to automatically calculate and charge the appropriate fees when customers renew registration online or at a county tax office, regardless of the events where an incorrect fee appeared on the paper Registration Renewal Notices.  

Additionally, we have been made aware of some confusion surrounding when a safety inspection will or will not be needed. Customers who are renewing in 2024 prior to their 2025 registration expirations will still be required to obtain a passing safety inspection through the remainder of December, even if their paper Registration Renewal Notice says otherwise. Beginning January 1, 2025, a safety inspection will no longer be required.  

We apologize for any confusion this may have caused. 

Thank you,

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

Use of webDEALER and Bond Requirements

Posted on November 14, 2024 by TxDMV

Please review and distribute as appropriate.

The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles continues to encourage dealers to begin using webDEALER ahead of the mandatory use requirement, effective July 1, 2025.

As a reminder, a dealer is not required to post a bond or contract with a county tax assessor-collector (county) to access or use webDEALER, and a county cannot prevent a dealer from using webDEALER to submit title transactions. Transportation Code, §520.005, requires a county to provide a dealer webDEALER access to submit title transactions.

A bond or contract is only required when the dealer is deputized as a dealer deputy in accordance with Texas Administrative Code, §217.167. A county may deputize a dealer as a dealer deputy in accordance with Texas Administrative Code, §217.166, which currently allows the county to allocate license plates and registration stickers to the deputized dealer. A dealer is not required to become a dealer deputy to use webDEALER.

With the implementation of House Bill (HB) 718, all dealers will be issued general issue license plates by the department, but this will not require all dealers to be deputized as a dealer deputy. Additional communications regarding policy and procedure changes will be provided, as the department continues to implement HB 718.

Thank you,
