Adoption of Amended Texas Administrative Code §217.5 and §217.9

Posted on August 26, 2022 by TxDMV

Please review and distribute as appropriate.

On August 11, 2022, the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV) board adopted amendments to Texas Administrative Code, §217.5, Evidence of Motor Vehicle Ownership, and Texas Administrative Code, §217.9, Bonded Titles. The rules are effective August 31, 2022.

The amendments to §217.5 allow applicants to apply for a title using a surety bond as ownership evidence when applying for an assigned or reassigned number from the department. The surety bond may then be used by the applicant to obtain a title in their name at the county tax assessor-collector’s office. The surety bond is an alternative to the applicant obtaining a court order awarding them ownership of the vehicle. The amendment is intended to streamline processes for applicants and align requirements between manufactured vehicles and assembled vehicles.

The amendments to §217.9 clarify portions of the rule, remove duplicate information, and provide alternatives for establishing the vehicle value, for owners of vehicles 25 years old or older and owners of trailers and semitrailers. The amendments allow owners of vehicles that are 25 years old or older applying for a bonded title the option to obtain an appraisal in lieu of using a national reference guide. In addition, the amendments allow owners of trailers and semitrailers to use the department’s established value of the trailer or semitrailer based on the length of the trailer, in lieu of having to obtain an appraisal. The established values identified in rule are $4,000, if the trailer is under 20 feet in length, or $7,000, if 20 or more feet in length.

Policy and procedure updates have been provided to TxDMV Regional Service Centers relative to these amendments. Updates to the Motor Vehicle Title Manual to reflect these changes will occur with the October revision.

Thank you,

 

Roland D. Luna, Sr., Deputy Executive Director
Texas Department of Motor Vehicles

Informational: webDealer "file is damaged" error message (08/25/2022 09:20 AM)

Posted on August 25, 2022 by TxDMV

Good morning,

TxDMV IT Support is aware that some webDealer users are experiencing a “file is
damaged” error message when uploading or opening attachments to title transactions
in the webDealer application.


Please be aware that this error is not due to a webDealer application issue. 


This error is due to title document attachments being scanned in at too high a resolution
setting, resulting in a very large document attachment file size in title transactions.


Recommendation for IDEAL SCANNER RESOLUTION SETTING for title transactions:

To avoid the “file is damaged” error, it is highly recommended that you scan title
documents at a lower resolution setting on your scanner device, resulting in a smaller
overall document attachment file size for your title transactions.

Each scanned title document attachment must be at least 200dpi and ideally 
no more than 300dpi.  The color selection should be Grayscale.  The file size for the
scanned title transaction documents should be less than 10MB.

Please make sure that the resolution setting on your scanner device meets the minimum
200dpi resolution setting and does not exceed the maximum 300dpi resolution setting
when adding file attachments to title transactions.

Thank you for your understanding.

Posted on August 3, 2022 by TxDMV

Good morning,

Users have reported that the Motor Carrier Credentialing System (MCCS) Complaint
Entry process is currently experiencing issues as follows: 

Users can’t complete the complaint entry process in the external Complaint Entry
System.  Upon entering all complaint information, the system may appear to lag,
eventually displaying the following error message to the user: “500  – Internal
Server Error“.     

While it appears that the complaint is actually accepted into the system, the user
does not receive a confirmation message.  For this reason, some users try to enter
the complaint again, do not receive a confirmation message, resulting in multiple
instances of the same complaint being logged in the Complaint Entry System.  

TxDMV Support Staff are working to resolve the issue.  

We will send an update once the MCCS Complaint Entry issue has been resolved.

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

Good morning,

TxDMV will be conducting scheduled workstation maintenance beginning the evening
of Saturday, July 30, 2022, starting at 8:00 PM lasting up to 10:00 AM on Sunday, July 31, 2022. 
Your office has been identified as having some workstations subject to this maintenance.

Once the scheduled maintenance begins, identified workstations in your office will be
remotely scanned by Austin HQ over the course of the weekend.  Those workstations
may/may not receive updates from Austin HQ depending on current update status on
the workstation.

We ask that you leave your workstations powered on over the weekend so that Austin HQ
can determine whether certain workstations in your office may/may not require updates.

 

Thank you,

Texas Department of Motor Vehicles
IT Services Division

Resolved: RTS/Cognos Reporting Issues (07/26/2022 @ 09:25 AM)

Posted on July 26, 2022 by TxDMV

Good morning,

Last week, Cognos users reported they were experiencing issues when requesting 
reports, despite refreshing the report request or starting a new reporting session. 
Some users were able to generate reports, but only after several attempts.  Users
also reported a “Can’t display page” error message while trying to run reports and/or
while trying to return to the Home Page on the Cognos portal.  Support Staff provided
a workaround to help alleviate some of the issues experienced by Cognos users.

We are happy to report that Cognos reporting issues have now been fully resolved. 

Cognos reporting functionality has been restored.  Users should no longer experience 
any issues when requesting reports.

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


Thank you,

Texas Department of Motor Vehicles
IT Services Division
