HB3533 Bond Notice Final

House Bill 3533 was passed during the regular 87th legislative session increasing the required surety bond amount for most dealer general distinguishing number (GDN) holders.  Effective September 1, 2021, the security requirement to issue or renew a GDN requires a Motor Vehicle Dealer Surety Bond in the amount of $50,000. Previously, the required surety bond amount was $25,000.

The surety bond requirement applies to all GDN license types except for Trailer/Semitrailer and Non-Motorized Travel Trailer. The bond requirement does not apply to Franchised dealers issued a GDN license associated to a Franchised dealer license. Applicants and dealers applying for a new GDN, or renewing a current GDN, prior to September 1, may still submit a Motor Vehicle Dealer Surety Bond in the amount of $25,000 to meet the security requirement. All applicants and dealers applying for a new GDN, or renewing a current GDN, on or after September 1 are required to submit a Motor Vehicle Dealer Surety Bond in the amount of $50,000.

In addition to the increased security bond, the new law requires dealers to post notice of the surety bond and the procedure by which a claimant may recover from the bond. This posting should be adjacent to, and in the same manner as, the dealer’s posted GDN.

Please refer to Texas Administrative Code §215.137 for a complete list of surety bond requirements and Transportation Code §503.033 for a complete list of security requirements.

Thank you,

Monique Johnston, Director
Motor Vehicle Division

Now Available: New options for Independent Dealer Training

The 86th Texas Legislature passed Senate Bill 604 requiring Independent Motor Vehicle Dealers who have been licensed less than 10 years, and new applicants for those licenses, to complete a web-based education training course prior to submitting a new or renewal GDN application.

The dealers required to take this course are licensed to buy, sell, or exchange used cars, trucks, motor homes, neighborhood electric vehicles, recreational off-road vehicles (ROV), all-terrain vehicles (ATV), or utility vehicles (UTV).

An additional vendor, Automobile Dealer Training Association LLC, has been approved to provide a license renewal course and a pre-licensing course, and these courses are available at texasdealers.com.

In addition to approved license renewal and pre-licensing courses, the Texas Independent Automobile Dealers Association (TIADA) is now offering the pre-licensing course in Spanish by selecting en Español. TIADA’s licensing education courses can be found at texasdealereducation.com.

The education training course must be completed by at least one owner or operating manager, and a copy of the Certificate of Completion must be uploaded as part of all new and renewal GDN Motor Vehicle license applications.

Dealers licensed for more than 10 years as of September 1, 2019, are excluded from this requirement. All license holders who have not held their current Independent Motor Vehicle GDN for the required 10-year period will be asked to provide proof of course completion as part of their renewal application.  License holders with more than 10 years of licensing history may upload a statement in lieu of completing the renewal course.

More information about the education requirement, including answers to frequently asked questions, can be found on the TxDMV website here

Thank you!

Ya disponible: Nuevas opciones para la formación de distribuidores independientes

La 86th Legislatura de Texas aprobó el Proyecto de Ley del Senado 604 que requiere que los Concesionarios Independientes de Vehículos Motorizados que tengan una licencia de menos de 10 años, y los nuevos solicitantes de esas licencias, completen un curso de capacitación educativo basado en el internet antes de presentar una solicitud de GDN nueva o renovada.

Los concesionarios que deben tomar este curso tienen licencia para comprar, vender o intercambiar automóviles, camiones, casas rodantes, vehículos eléctricos del vecindario, vehículos recreativos todoterreno (ROV), vehículos todo terreno (ATV) o vehículos utilitarios (UTV) usados.

Un proveedor adicional, Automobile Dealer Training Association LLC, ha sido aprobado para proporcionar un curso de renovación de licencia y un curso de pre-licencia, y estos cursos están disponibles en texasdealers.com.

Además de los cursos aprobados de renovación de licencias y pre-licencia, Texas Independent Automobile Dealers Association (TIADA) ahora ofrece el curso de pre-licencia en español seleccionando en Español. Los cursos de educación sobre licencias de TIADA se pueden encontrar en texasdealereducation.com.

El curso de capacitación educativa debe ser completado por al menos un propietario o gerente operativo, y se debe cargar una copia del Certificado de finalización como parte de todas las solicitudes de licencia de vehículos de motor de GDN nuevas y renovadas.

Los distribuidores autorizados por más de 10 años a partir del 1 de septiembre de 2019 están excluidos de este requisito. A todos los titulares de licencias que no hayan tenido su GDN de vehículos motorizados independiente actual durante el período requerido de 10 años se les pedirá que proporcionen un comprobante de finalización del curso como parte de su solicitud de renovación. Los titulares de licencias con más de 10 años de historial de licencias pueden cargar una declaración en lugar de completar el curso de renovación.

Puede encontrar más información sobre el requisito de educación, incluidas las respuestas a las preguntas frecuentes, en el sitio web de TxDMV aquí.

Gracias!

Good morning,

The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV) is aware of suspicious emails that are being sent from illegitimate accounts posing as TxDMV staff.  These are phishing emails and an attempt to obtain sensitive information from you.  The emails will have a TxDMV staff member’s name in the “From” field, but will not have a “txdmv.gov” email address and may ask for sensitive information or mention some urgent matter that requires sensitive information from you. 

Here is an example of an email using this tactic with the illegitimate account posing as a TxDMV user highlighted:

                     Fraud emails

As a reminder, if you receive a suspicious email:

    • Never open attachments or click on any links from unknown senders.
    • Hover over the link with your mouse to see if the link points to a legitimate address.
    • Never enter your sensitive information in an untrusted site or pop-up window.
    • Do not reply.

Attached is a reference document to help identify phishing attempts.

To report a suspicious email or to verify if an email is legitimate, please save the email as a file and send the file as an attachment to TxDMV.
