RTB 001-21 Processing Corrected Titles Without the Surrender of Ownership Evidence

Please review and distribute as appropriate.

Registration and Title Bulletin (RTB) #001-21 provides guidance on processing a corrected title without the surrender of a Certified Copy of Texas Title (CCO) when the owner’s original title has been lost or destroyed.  To support this policy change, revisions were made to the Application for Texas Title and/or Registration (Form 130-U) to include a certification statement for vehicle owners.  The RTB #001-21 and revised Form 130-U are attached. 

The RTB #001-21 is the result of a fiscal year initiative for the Vehicle Titles and Registration Division that is effective June 21, 2021.  The initiative revises CCO issuance by facilitating batch printing of these titles through the department’s print vendor, eliminating the requirement for Regional Service Center (RSC) staff to mail documents to applicants.  To facilitate batch printing, the initiative includes the ability for RSC staff to remove liens when processing applications for CCOs.  The initiative and policy change increase efficiencies and provide a cost savings to vehicle owners.

Thank you,

Informational Alert: Customers Receiving Additional Texts Posing as DMV

 

Good afternoon,

The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV) has become aware that some customers are experiencing instances of information requests (via text messaging) purporting to come from TxDMV.  This is known as phishing (the fraudulent practice of sending emails purporting to be from reputable companies in order to induce individuals to reveal personal information).   A form of phishing, smishing is when someone tries to trick you into giving them your private information via a text or SMS message to your cell phone.  

To you, our valued TxDMV customer, we cannot stress enough that TxDMV will never reach out directly via email, or text, requesting any personal information from you.  If you receive such an email or text message purporting to be from TxDMV, please do not respond to it.  Trust your intuition.  If an email or text message purporting to come from TxDMV just seems odd, or out of the ordinary, please ignore it.  For your peace of mind, it is best to contact TxDMV directly if any messaging seems suspicious.

Here is an example of a fraudulent text message received by some TxDMV customers:

Phishing Text

Here is the best recommended action you can take upon receipt of such a message: 

Do not click on any links within the message.  Block the sender of this message on your cell phone.  Delete the text message.  Use your own best judgement and trust your intuition.

Smishing is becoming an emerging and growing threat in the world of online security.  To learn more about fraudulent messaging and text messages, we recommend the following informational link which should prove very helpful:

As always, be safe, be vigilant and exercise caution in your day-to-day communication needs via email or text.
