Section 4.1, “Definitions,” was updated to include changes to statutory definitions under Transportation Code, Section 501.002, due to House Bill (HB) 1755.

Section 4.2, “Remarks/Brands,” was updated to add the NOT FOR DEALER RESALE remark to the Remarks/Brands chart, which is applied to certain newly assembled vehicles as outlined in Registration and Title Bulletin (RTB) #010-20.

Chapter 13 – Vehicle Identification Numbers
Section 13.1, “Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) Overview,” was updated to include the vehicle identification number assigned by the maker of a kit is acceptable for titling and registering an assembled vehicle. 

Section 13.6, “Assigned and Reassigned Identification Numbers,” was updated based on revisions to the Law Enforcement Identification Number Inspection (Form VTR-68-A) to accommodate changes with assembled vehicles due to HB 1755.  Changes include a note that the owner of an assembled vehicle may apply for a bonded title in lieu of having ownership evidence to obtain an assigned or reassigned number from the department.  In addition, issuance of an assigned number is required for newly assembled trailers since they must be titled as outlined in RTB #010-20.

Chapter 14 – Vehicle Types
Section 14.5, “Homemade/Shopmade Trailers or Semitrailers,” was removed and replaced with “Optional Title for Trailers and Semitrailers under 4,000 Pounds.”  Information regarding assembled trailers has been removed from the manual and will be covered in the Assembled and Rebuilt Vehicle Manual once revised. 

Chapter 25 – Motor Vehicle Dealers
Section 25.3, “Requirement for Motor Vehicle Dealers,” was updated to include a new subsection that outlines the requirements of a licensed motor vehicle dealer when a purchaser’s county of residence is closed as outlined in RTB #009-20.

In addition, this section was updated to include a new subsection that informs licensed motor vehicle dealers that any newly assembled vehicle that contains the NOT FOR DEALER RESALE remark may not be purchased or sold by a licensed motor vehicle dealer as outlined in RTB #010-20.

NEWS RELEASE

Texas Communities Combat Crime
Thanks to New Grant Funding 

You can protect yourself from auto burglary and theft

(AUSTIN, Texas – July 9, 2020) Watch out, auto burglars and thieves! Texas communities are fighting back. At its board meeting today, the Motor Vehicle Crime Prevention Authority (MVCPA) awarded annual grants to help prevent and reduce statewide motor vehicle crime.

The grants support local law enforcement efforts to prevent Texans from experiencing over $1 billion in losses caused each year from motor vehicle crime.

Grant Recipients:

  • City of Austin: $414,319
  • City of Beaumont: $508,623
  • City of Brownsville: $889,225
  • Burnet County: $192,400
  • City of Corpus Christi: $395,356
  • City of Dallas: $601,250
  • Dallas County: $519,480
  • City of Eagle Pass: $120,250
  • City of El Paso: $894,145
  • Galveston County: $451,354
  • Harris County: $743,052
  • City of Houston: $957,190
  • City of Laredo: $658,970
  • Lubbock County: $389,151
  • City of Mansfield: $288,600
  • Montgomery County: $324,640
  • City of Paris: $102,654
  • City of Pasadena: $73,112
  • Potter County: $347,960
  • City of San Antonio: $769,600
  • Smith County: $320,146
  • Tarrant County: $1,101,971
  • Travis County: $607,154
  • City of Victoria: $148,840
  • Total: $11,819,442

These agencies collaborate regionally and with each other to establish evidence based, strategy driven and community focused solutions networks. They improve coordination, deploy equipment and provide clear messaging to community groups to end motor vehicle crime across Texas.

“With these grants, local communities can respond in a coordinated effort to solve statewide motor vehicle crime,” said Laredo Assistant Chief of Police Mike Rodriguez.

The taskforces recovered more than 11,000 vehicles in fiscal year 2019, made thousands of arrests and distributed materials and messages to their communities to help remind people to lock their cars. Based on state data, there are nearly 200,000 motor vehicle burglaries and more than 67,000 stolen vehicles every year.

The Motor Vehicle Crime Prevention Authority, a division of the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles, funds local law enforcement taskforces across the state every year. The funds come from a $4 fee that MVCPA collects from motor vehicle insurance companies. A large part of the fee collected also supports emergency rooms and trauma centers throughout Texas.

The Texas Legislature established MVCPA in 1991 to create a statewide effort to reduce auto theft. The Authority is comprised of governor-appointed members from insurers, law enforcement and the public along with a designee from the Texas Department of Public Safety.

For more information about how to protect yourself from motor vehicle crime, visit MVCPA online at www.txdmv.gov/motorists/consumer-protection/auto-theft-prevention.

Please review and distribute as appropriate.

This is a follow-up to the communication sent on June 19, 2020, regarding issues identified with county closure transactions.

The COGNOS Funds Remittance Report is being updated tonight to reflect the correct summary remittance amount.  It will be available by the start of business tomorrow morning.  If your county is on the attached list of impacted counties, please rerun the COGNOS Funds Remittance Report for the impacted week, and remit based on the revised report.  In addition, separate reports will be sent tonight to the Regional Service Centers of impacted counties that identify any over/under remittances to the department.  These reports are being made available for audit purposes.  Your Regional Service Center will contact you with the reports.

Work is ongoing to address the fee details not displaying correctly on the COGNOS Funds Remittance Report with an anticipated completion by the end of July.

We appreciate your patience as we continue to resolve these issues.

Thank you,

Jeremiah Kuntz, Director
Vehicle Titles and Registration Division
Texas Department of Motor Vehicles
