Go for the gold! Performance Quality Recognition Program News Release

Posted on May 4, 2022 by TxDMV

Texas DMV

NEWS RELEASE

Go for the gold!

TxDMV recognizes four Texas counties for outstanding performance

(AUSTIN, Texas – May 4, 2022) You won’t see the Olympic flame burning in the lobby of your county tax office, but you may see something gold, silver, or bronze hanging on the wall!

Four Texas counties earned Performance Quality Recognition Program awards from the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV). The awards recognize tax assessor-collectors and their staff for exemplary customer service and going above and beyond in providing vehicle title and registration services.

The program distinguishes counties at three levels – gold, silver, and bronze. This year’s winners are:

 Gold

  • Galveston County – Cheryl Johnson, Tax Assessor-Collector
  • Montgomery County – Tammy McRae, Tax Assessor-Collector

 Bronze

  • Bexar County – Albert Uresti, Tax Assessor-Collector
  • Williamson County – Larry Gaddes, Tax Assessor-Collector

“Texans should expect nothing less than outstanding customer service when they register or title a vehicle,” said TxDMV acting Executive Director Daniel Avitia. “County staff and residents should be proud of this achievement.”

The recognition focuses on industry best practices, including:

  • Remitting fees on time
  • Consistently applying statutes, rules, and policies
  • Maintaining required bonds
  • Performing efficiently and with low error rates
  • Processing transactions quickly
  • Having a fraud, waste, and abuse awareness program
  • Focusing on customer satisfaction
  • Implementing cost saving measures

Since the program started in 2017, TxDMV has handed out six gold, five silver, and 16 bronze awards. Montgomery County is the only county to take home the gold twice. The Performance Quality Recognition Program is a voluntary program available for all Texas county tax assessor-collectors to apply.

Keeping unsafe trucks off the road – News Release

Posted on May 2, 2022 by TxDMV

Texas DMV

NEWS RELEASE

Keeping unsafe trucks off the road

TxDMV recognized for oversize/overweight permit process enhancements

(AUSTIN, Texas – May 2, 2022) Drilling rigs, wind turbines, and airplanes – oh my! Texas drivers sometimes spot the strangest things rolling down the road. A safety enhancement for the system that permits the movement of large and sometimes unusual loads that are critical to supporting the Texas economy is getting some recognition.

The American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA) awarded the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV) its Fraud Prevention and Detection Award for programming enhancements to the oversize/overweight permitting process completed in August 2021.

Now the Texas Permitting and Routing Optimization System (TxPROS) automatically rejects oversize/overweight permit applications for motor carriers deemed unsafe by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) or the Department of Public Safety. An additional enhancement allows law enforcement to immediately verify oversize/overweight permits presented to them roadside.

“Keeping unsafe vehicles off the road is everyone’s business,” said TxDMV acting Executive Director Daniel Avitia. “This enhancement keeps the industry moving while screening out unsafe carriers more quickly.”

With these enhancements, TxPROS has denied the applications of 48 carriers found to be unsafe, while approving more than 450,000 permits through late April.

Vehicles exceeding legal size or weight limits must obtain a permit from TxDMV. TxPROS allows carriers to apply for permits, pay fees, and obtain a route online, 24/7. Launched in 2011, TxPROS has served as a model for other states looking to automate their permitting processes.

The award also recognized an enhancement to the Commercial Vehicle Information Exchange Window (CVIEW), a TxDMV system that receives active permit information from TxPROS and provides it to law enforcement on the roadside. CVIEW is also the conduit for information that identifies unsafe motor carriers so that they are denied permits.

Posted on April 25, 2022 by TxDMV

Good afternoon,

The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles will be undertaking scheduled maintenance
to the webDealer system this evening Monday, April 25th, 2022, starting at 10:30pm,
lasting up to 11:00pm.

As webDealer users navigate to “Payments Completed” from the “Payments” Menu,
the webDealer system will normally retrieve the last 30 days of payment data. 
We have received reports that, in some cases, some webDealer users will experience
a delay (or timeout) to occur due to the large amount of payment data being retrieved. 

In an effort to avoid the delay (or timeout) which some webDealer users may experience
when requesting payments data, this evening’s webDealer system update will adjust
the time frame of data retrieved to only the last 7 days of payment data.  Once the
webDealer user is reviewing the payment data screen, the user can elect to use the 
search filter as appropriate in order to request specific date ranges other than
the initial 7 day payment summary.


Thank you,

Update: webDealer "file is damaged" error message (04/21/2022 7:55AM)

Posted on April 21, 2022 by TxDMV

**UPDATE**This message is to update the information in the recommendation section below.  Please note the corrected dpi and file size recommendation.  Sorry for any confusion caused by the previous message.

 

Good morning,

TxDMV IT Support is aware that some users are experiencing a “file is damaged” error message when scanning documents as intended attachments to title transactions in webDealer.

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.

Recommendation:

To avoid this error, it is recommended that you scan title documents at a lower resolution setting on your scanner device, resulting in a smaller document attachment file size. 

Each scanned title document attachment must be at least 200dpi or 7.5MB and ideally no more than 300dpi or 10MB.
