Reminder Notification: webDEALER/eTAG: Scheduled Maintenance (09/22/2018 @ 07:00 PM Central Time)

Posted on September 21, 2018 by TxDMV

Good afternoon,

 

On Saturday September 22, 2018, the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV) will be performing webDEALER/eTAG system maintenance. The duration of the maintenance is scheduled to begin Saturday (09/22/2018) at 07:00 PM Central Time and could last until Sunday (09/23/2018) 06:00 AM Central Time.  webDEALER/eTAG will be unavailable for up to one (1) hour sometime during the maintenance window.

 

As a reminder, if you are unable to print buyer’s tags, you should use your pre-printed Internet Down buyer’s tags.   As you know, every dealer is now allowed a minimum of 30 Internet Down tags.  If you have less than 30 printed, print your full allocation now so you are prepared when the eTags system is unavailable.  Please remember that after using an Internet Down tag, you must enter the information for that tag into eTags as soon as the system is accessible.  This will ensure you always have the full allocation of unused Internet Down tags available when you need them. Also remember that unused Internet Down tags are valid for one year from the date they are printed.

 

Note: A reply to all will be sent when the maintenance is complete.  Please contact the Service Desk if you experience system issues after the end of the maintenance.

Return of Metal Dealer and Other Industry Plates

Posted on September 18, 2018 by TxDMV

Texas DMV

The Motor Vehicle Division announced that effective immediately Texas motor vehicle dealers, in-transit operators, converters, manufacturers, and distributors are required to return canceled, damaged, or unneeded metal plates to a Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV) Regional Service Center or the Department’s Headquarters.  Plates can be mailed to or dropped off at any of these 17 locations across the state.  

Please do not accept any of the above mentioned plates at a tax assessor-collector (TAC) office as the Motor Vehicle Division is tracking compliance with this requirement.  Instead ask customers with these plates to visit our website or contact us toll-free at 1-888-DMV-GOTX (1-888-368-4689) or at (512) 465-3000 for more information.  We are available to answer questions from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Central Time, Monday through Friday.  

This requirement does not affect the return of customer plates which in many cases are being received and recycled by TAC offices across the state. 

TxDMV’s eLICENSING system and website have been updated to include information about this requirement.  In addition to reducing the potential for fraudulent use of license plates, this effort provides Texas dealers and other licensees a way to responsibly recycle over 4,000 plates every year.

Thank you,

Daniel Avitia, Director
Motor Vehicle Division

New Referral Fee Option for Independent Dealers

Posted on September 10, 2018 by TxDMV

On August 16, the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV) Board met and adopted rules related to the use of referral fees for independent motor vehicle dealers. Here is what you need to know as a licensed independent dealer on this effort: 

  • An independent motor vehicle dealer may now offer a referral fee in cash or value to a customer who purchased a vehicle from the licensed dealer within the past four years.
  • The referral fee may be contingent upon the new referred individual purchasing a vehicle, or a fee may be paid for the referral of a new potential customer.
  • The referral fee agreement may NOT be used for financing as a part of an original retail installment contract agreement transaction (Ref. Texas Finance Code 348.403 and 348.404). 

The rule does not extend the option to offer a referral fee to:

  • a franchised motor vehicle dealer;
  • a wholesale motor vehicle dealer;
  • a motorcycle dealer;
  • a house trailer dealer;
  • a trailer or semitrailer dealer; or
  • an independent mobility motor vehicle dealer 

If you have any questions regarding the new referral fee option, please do not hesitate to contact us at (512) 465-4207.
