Texas House Bill 718 which has passed through the Texas legislature and

has been signed by the Governor, will impact the day to day operations of

dealers in Texas and how the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles wants to remind

dealers to use webDEALER to submit title transactions electronically to eliminate

the process of visiting county tax offices to process title applications and

registrations.

The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles continues to work

closely with impacted stakeholders on the important process of implementing

House Bill 718 from the last legislative session. The bill eliminates most

paper temporary tags and requires vehicles to be issued metal plates at the

time of sale. This is a significant operational change for both TxDMV and Texas

dealers, and they have a target date to implement the bill by July 1, 2025.

At this time, TxDMV has selected a direct-to-dealer

distribution model for license plate issuance as part of this implementation.

Delivering license plates directly to dealers will streamline the process and

ensure that plates are available to dealers as needed to support sales

activity. The process is also intended to remove some of the logistical

workload from tax assessor-collectors, allowing those offices to focus on their

work processing title and registration transactions for dealers and individuals

in an efficient and timely manner.
