Update: New log on procedure for TPWD BRT System (09/19/2022 11:30 AM)
Good morning,
Texas Parks and Wildlife (TPWD) has updated their Boat Registration Information and
Titling System (BRITS) from the current Remote Desktop Connection protocol (RDP) on
your RTS workstation to a new workstation internet shortcut (URL).
Over this weekend, TxDMV Support will be adding a new BRITS shortcut icon to all RTS
workstation public desktops statewide in order to comply with this TPWD change. TPWD
has migrated to a URL-based connection as this will update BRITS to become a more reliable,
secure and manageable system.
The old BRITS system is still functional, but you are encouraged to use the new BRITS
desktop icon going forward since the old BRITS system will be eventually decommissioned.
Before retiring the old BRITS system, TxDMV and TPWD will ensure that all RTS workstations
will have the new BRITS shortcut icon on RTS public desktops.

The new BRITS desktop icon will point to this new internet shortcut URL in order to access
the BRITS system:
https://brits.trectpwd.state.tx.us/RDWeb/
To become more acquainted with the new BRITS desktop shortcut icon and logon procedure,
please reference the attachment contained in this bulletin. The attachment provides step by
step instructions to log on to the BRITS system using the new URL shortcut.

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.
