Revised Statutory Lien Foreclosure Forms

Please review and distribute as appropriate.

The department instituted changes to the use of court orders in the title application process to better align with statutory requirements.  These changes were detailed in Registration and Title Bulletin #008-20.  As a result, the following statutory lien foreclosure forms have been revised to accommodate these changes:

• Landlord’s Lien Foreclosure (Form VTR-265-L)
• Franchise Mechanic’s Lien Foreclosure (Form VTR-265-FM)
• Mechanic’s Lien Foreclosure (Form VTR-265-M)
• Storage Lien Foreclosure (Form VTR-265-S)
• Self-Service Storage Facility Lien Foreclosure (Form VTR-265-SSF)

The revised forms are available on our website at www.TxDMV.gov and may be used immediately.  Previous versions of the forms remain valid for use; however, we encourage you to begin utilizing the latest version available on our website.

Thank you,

Tim Thompson, Deputy Director
Vehicle Titles and Registration Division
Texas Department of Motor Vehicles
