Initial Notification: eTAG Issue (01/09/2018 @ 5:15 PM CDT)
Texas Department of Motor Vehicles sent this bulletin at 01/09/2018 05:16 PM CSTGood afternoon,
An issue was reported with the eTAG system that delays password reset emails. Support staff have identified and are working to resolve the issue. An update will be sent by 8:00 AM CDT tomorrow (01/10/2018) or as additional information becomes available.
The statewide ticket for this issue is: 160464
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. Doing 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.
