Good afternoon,

Some Texans have received text messages claiming to come from the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV). These messages are not from TxDMV. They are sent by cybercriminals attempting to gain access to your private information. Do not click any links provided in a suspicious text message.

We cannot stress enough that TxDMV will never reach out directly via text requesting any personal information.


Examples of suspicious text messages:

                          Smishing Examples 09/02/21                     

If you receive a suspicious text message:

  • Do not click on any links.
  • Do not reply.
  • Block the sender on your phone.
  • Report the text message to your cell carrier.
  • Report it on the messaging app you use. Look for the option to report junk or spam. 
  • Copy the message and forward it to 7726 (SPAM). 
  • Report it to the Federal Trade Commission at ftc.gov. 
  • If the text involves TxDMV, please report the fraudulent text message to
    Report-eFraud@txdmv.gov.
  • Delete the text message once it has been reported.

If a message appearing to come from TxDMV seems out of the ordinary or too good to be true, please use good judgment.

Thank you,

County Reports for Texas by Texas (TxT) Transactions

Posted on August 27, 2021 by TxDMV

Please review and distribute as appropriate.

Thank you for supporting online renewal via the Internet Vehicle Title and Registration Service (IVTRS) maintained at Texas.gov. The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV) is enhancing the online renewal system with a new web-based application called Texas by Texas (TxT) in partnership with Texas.gov. As part of this project, the TxT website will be deployed on August 28, 2021.

This deployment of TxT will not affect how your office currently processes online renewal transactions using the Registration and Title System.

As background, TxT will serve as “a personal and portable government assistant that offers an even easier, faster, and more secure way for Texans to take care of government to do’s – like registration renewal.” The new TxT website will allow users to create a user account, link vehicles, and establish a personalized profile with stored payment information, transaction history, preferences, and other features, so they can receive reminders and complete transactions faster.

While TxT will not be actively promoted until later this year, it is possible some customers may renew their registration via TxT prior to the formal launch. If this occurs, your office may need to compare reports from IVTRS and TxT to reconcile online revenue transactions. For any renewals processed using TxT, separate reports – similar to the Batch Summary and Batch Detail reports – will be generated and automatically sent to your county. If your county receives these new reports, please review them for transaction reconciliation as needed.

IVTRS Reports
There are two ways that your county may access the current IVTRS reports:

  1. Use the TPE Admin tool to run the reports on demand
  2. Receive the daily reports via email from NIC (there are five).

New TxT Reports
Reports for TxT transactions will be emailed to your office like the IVTRS reports. These reports may also be downloaded through the TPE Admin tool.

How to Download Reports
Access the system at https://tpe2admin-tx.cdc.nicusa.com/Texas/Login.aspx.

  1. Confirm your login credentials are updated. If you’re unable to login, enter a ticket on ServiceNow to reset or unlock TPE account at: https://dirsharedservices.service-now.com/sp?id=sc_cat_item&sys_id=d857ee0edbe95b009d8e5eea4b96196a.
  2. The attached TPE Admin User Guide can be referenced to learn more about the TPE admin tool and how to access reports.
  3. A formal launch of TxT will occur later this year, and you will be provided more information prior to the TxT launch. Texas.gov (IVTRS) remains the preferred method for online renewal until TxT formally launches, and the TxDMV website will still redirect customers to Texas.gov for online renewals.

Thank you,

Vehicle Titles and Registration Division

Changes to Disabled Veteran License Plates Coming in 2022

Posted on August 26, 2021 by TxDMV

Texas DMV

NEWS RELEASE

Changes to Disabled Veteran License Plates Coming in 2022

Disabled Veteran Plates with the International Symbol of Access will be Available

(AUSTIN, Texas – August 26, 2021) A new state law will change the requirements for Texans with disabled veteran license plates who wish to park in spaces reserved for persons with disabilities.

Senate Bill 792 requires that as of Jan. 1, 2022, anyone parking in a disabled parking space must have a license plate or a disabled parking placard that features the International Symbol of Access (ISA). Currently, disabled veteran license plates do not feature the ISA, and all Texans with these plates are permitted to use disabled parking.

Texans with disabled veteran plates wanting to use disabled parking spaces beginning in 2022 may apply for a disabled parking placard or for a new disabled veteran license plate with the ISA if the veteran meets the eligibility requirements for an ISA after Jan. 1, 2022. Applicants may submit their paperwork at their local county tax assessor-collector’s office. Current placards will remain valid; however, the new requirements must be met at time of renewal.

Eligibility for Disabled Parking Placards or License Plates with the International Symbol of Access

Placard and plate eligibility is based on a medical condition that meets the legal definition of a disability. “Disability” means a condition in which a person has:

  • Visual acuity of 20/200 or less in the better eye with correcting lenses.
  • Visual acuity of more than 20/200 but with a limited field of vision in which the widest diameter of the visual field subtends an angle of 20 degrees or less.
  • Mobility problems that substantially impair a person’s ability to move around; these problems can be caused by:
    • Paralysis.
    • Lung disease.
    • Uses portable oxygen
    • Cardiac deficiency.
    • Wheelchair confinement.
    • Arthritis, neurological, or orthopedic condition.
    • Foot disorder.
    • Other medical condition causing a person to use a brace, cane, crutch or other assistive device.

A parking placard or plate with the ISA is only valid when being used by the person with the disability or someone who is driving the person with the disability.

It is a violation of state law to use the placard or plates for a disabled parking spot without the person with the disability in the vehicle. People who misuse disabled parking placards are subject to fines of up to $1,250 and/or up to 50 hours of community service.
