Introducing TxFLEET for Management of Texas-based Fleets

The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles is in the process of replacing TxIRP with TxFLEET, a modernized online system for managing Texas-based fleets. TxFLEET includes a dashboard interface and is mobile-friendly for access from smart phones and tablets. The Motor Carrier Dashboard is the starting point for all fleet registration functions. Alerts are present when payments are due, credits exist, and when Fleet renewals are available. Users will also be able to upload documents to TxFLEET for DMV verification. TxFLEET will replace TxIRP on Sept. 16, 2024. 

Motor Carriers will experience downtime during the process of installing the new system from 6 p.m., Friday, Sept. 6, until 7 a.m., Monday, Sept. 16. Therefore, all Originals, Renewals, and Supplement applications must have their required documents approved and be in a “filed” status by 6 p.m. Sept. 6, 2024, to ensure migration from TxIRP to TxFLEET.

TxFLEET will require that all motor carriers have online access to their IRP account. If you do not currently have a username and password for your IRP account, please send an email to MCD_UserAccess@txdmv.gov, including your account number, to request an online access form.

Please do not reply to this email address, as it is an unmonitored mailbox. For questions, please contact the Commercial Fleet Services office by email at MCD_TXIRP@txdmv.gov or call 1-800-299-1700, options 5-1.

Reminder: Oversize/Overweight Permit Name Changes

On August 1, 2024, the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles will implement changes within the Texas Permitting and Routing Optimization System (TxPROS) so that the permit names are consistent with Texas Transportation Code, Chapter 623, and recent changes to 43 Texas Administrative Code, Chapter 219.

Reminder Notification: RTS Unavailable (07/22/2024 @ 9:00 AM)

Good morning,

The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles and our technology vendors have
restored all servers supporting department applications following the global
technology systems outage on Friday. This restoration includes RTS. Workstations
impacted by the global technology systems outage must also be individually
restored in each county in order to fully resume providing registration and title
services. Department staff partnered with TACA leadership over the past several
days to develop and test a step-by-step user guide instructing county offices on
how to restore TxDMV issued workstations. This user guide is included in this
communication and can be used by county offices immediately. The process for
restoring a workstation typically takes only a few minutes per computer. Once
restored the workstation should be fully functional.

To maximize department efforts in supporting all counties, we request each county
notify their respective Regional Service Center (RSC) managers when they have
restored all workstations in their county. Counties experiencing difficulty restoring
their workstations using the guide should report all issues to their respective RSC
managers for additional assistance. Your RSC manager can assist you with
troubleshooting or escalate an issue to department technical resources if they are
unable to assist.

 
Thank you for your patience as we work to restore full registration and titling
services throughout the state.
Thank you,
Texas Department of Motor Vehicles
