Performance Quality Recognition Program Application Reminder

Please review and distribute as appropriate.

The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV) is currently accepting applications for the Performance Quality Recognition Program.  The deadline for submission is October 31.

The TxDMV understands the importance of the services you provide, as well as the impact you have on the overall satisfaction of Texas motorists, and we want you to be recognized for your achievements in providing quality registration and titling services to the motoring public.  The Performance Quality Recognition Program, implemented in 2017, focuses on achievements in: business process, fraud prevention, customer service, and training.  Achievement in these pillars of your registration and titling work certainly merit recognition, and I invite each of you to apply.

The Performance Quality Recognition Program stipulates all recognitions expire one year after the county tax assessor-collector’s re-election.  As you are aware, 2020 was an election year; thus if you have previously received a PQRP recognition, that recognition expires later this year.  A previously recognized county tax assessor-collector must reapply to retain an existing recognition.  They may also apply for a higher level of recognition.  In either case, a new application is required.

The Performance Quality Recognition Program Application (Form VTR-004) can be found at www.txdmv.gov/county-recognition.  We are glad to assist you in this process and encourage you to contact your TxDMV Regional Service Center Manager if you have any questions or need assistance with obtaining data.

We recommend sending your completed application to County-Recognition@txdmv.gov.

Alternatively, you may send mailed applications to:

Texas Department of Motor Vehicles
Vehicle Titles and Registration Division
Attn: County Recognition Program
4000 Jackson Avenue
Austin, Texas 78731

Thank you for being “Driven to Serve!”

 

Roland D. Luna, Sr., Director

If you have any questions concerning this communication, please contact your local TxDMV Regional Service Center.

Informational: County Reports: "99 Transaction Reconciliation Report" for Texas by Texas (TxT) Transactions (09/09/2021 1:25PM)


Good afternoon,

Based on deployment activities around the recent RTS 10.2.0 Release, some Texas by Texas (TxT) files became corrupt, thereby causing issues with our payment status process.  As a result of these issues, some paid transactions did not correctly indicate PAID status.  These issues were resolved yesterday, Wednesday, September 8, 2021.  Most paid transactions now indicate correct payment status in the TxT system. 

Some incorrect transactions remain and will need to be processed to indicate correct payment status.  These transactions will be processed in this evening’s batch process.  While some County transaction reports remain inaccurate, transactions should indicate correct payment status by tomorrow morning.  

Following tonight’s batch run and beginning tomorrow morning, we ask that the counties review those days which indicate inaccurate transactions.  Please compare those transactions against tomorrow’s reports, and verify those transactions show up appropriately and indicate correct payment status.  


Thank you,

Texas Department of Motor Vehicles
IT Department

SCAM ALERT: Cybersecurity Bulletin – Fraudulent Text Messages (SMiShing) (09/02/2021 4:10PM)

 

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.

Please write to Report-eFraud@txdmv.gov with any questions or concerns about text messages claiming to be sent by TxDMV.

Thank you,
