Updates for this release are marked with red change bars in the text. 

Chapter 5 – Title Brands
Section 5.4, “Reconstructed Brand,” was updated to remove the 49 SALVAGE-STOLEN brand. Unrecovered stolen vehicles are not considered salvage in Texas. Programming was completed with the RTS 8.8.0 release to prevent this brand from being returned as an NMVTIS error.

Important eTAG and webDEALER Update

The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV) will move eTAG (the system used for Buyer Tags) into webDEALER (the title application system) on April 9, 2018. After this date, the link below should be used to access webDEALER and/or eTAG

https://webdealer.txdmv.gov/title.

This update will result in a change to the way counties process payments for out of state purchasers’ Buyer Tags. For your convenience, a video outlining the process can be found on the TAC Hub website http://www.txdmv.gov/tax-assessor-collectors.

Additionally, TxDMV provided training webinars for eTAG/webDEALER users (dealers). If you are interested in seeing the materials offered to the dealers, you can view a recording of one of the webinar sessions, along with short videos and other training materials at our website www.TxDMV.gov/dealers/etag/resources.
