DPS Inspection System Outage – Dealer Impact

Posted on August 24, 2023 by TxDMV

The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) is experiencing issues that are preventing inspections from being saved to the database. Due to this vehicle inspection issue, vehicle inspections cannot be conducted by inspection stations after August 23, 2023. This outage will prevent dealers from issuing a Buyer’s Tag for a vehicle that was not inspected prior to August 24, 2023. If you experience difficulty issuing a Buyer’s Tag for an inspected vehicle, it is appropriate to utilize your pre-printed Internet Down tags. Every dealer is allocated a minimum of 30 Internet Down tags.

Please remember that after using an Internet Down tag, you must enter the information for that tag into webDEALER.  Doing this will ensure you always have the full allocation of unused Internet Down tags available when you need them. Internet Down tags are valid for one year from the date they are printed.

An update will be sent once the issue has been resolved.

Thank you,

Texas Department of Motor Vehicles

RTS Connectivity Issues and transactions (08/01/2023 @ 09:55 AM)

Posted on August 1, 2023 by TxDMV

Good morning,


TxDMV is aware of reported RTS connectivity issues and that some RTS users cannot log in.

Support staff has implemented a series of “unlocks” to address the RTS user log in issues.

If you are a RTS user that did not experience a login issue and/or did not experience any
lock out on your account, we still ask that you kindly log out of RTS, then log in again in order
to synchronize with RTS “unlock” commands so as to reestablish assured connectivity.

08/01/2023 @ 09:55 AM  – How to handle transactions

Scenario #1: You have completed the transaction but can’t print the transaction receipt.

        ○  Attempt to re-print the receipt
        ○  If unable to re-print, void the transaction and re-process the transaction
                    •  You will need to run a transaction reconciliation report to obtain the trans ID#,
                        in order to void, should you not have the trans ID# already

Scenario #2: You did not complete the transaction, and when you try to complete it,
                       the system tells you that the transaction is still in-process.

       ○  Access the pending transaction from your set asides
       ○  This should allow you to access the transaction to complete processing

Scenario #3: You did not complete the transaction, and it’s not in set aside.

       ○  Run the transaction reconciliation report to verify those transactions
            which are not completed
       ○  Redo transaction if the transaction was not completed.

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

July 2023 NMVTIS Guide Update

Posted on July 31, 2023 by TxDMV

Please review and distribute as appropriate.

The latest update to the NMVTIS Guide (attached) is now available via Registration and Title System (RTS) workstations and at www.txdmv.gov.

We welcome your feedback and encourage you to email any comments or suggestions to VTR_Title_Reg-Manual-Update@txdmv.gov (please note the underscores between VTR and Title and between Title and Reg).

Updates for this release are marked with red change bars in the text.

Chapter 5 – Title Brands
Section 5.1, “NMVTIS Brands,” and Section 5.3, “NMVTIS Conversion to Texas Brands,” were updated to remove reference to Brand 28 Street Rod. Programming was accomplished with RTS Release 23.3 to ignore this brand return from NMVTIS and no longer generate an error since this is not a brand recognized by Texas.

Thank you,
