Texas Department of Motor Vehicles

Please review and distribute as appropriate.

The latest update to the Salvage/Nonrepairable Motor Vehicle Manual (attached) is now available via Registration and Title System workstations and at www.txdmv.gov.

We welcome your feedback and encourage you to email any comments or suggestions to VTR_Title_Reg-Manual-Update@txdmv.gov (please note the underscores between VTR and Title and between Title and Reg).

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

Chapter 2 – Title Application and Issuance
Section 2.6, “Proof of Sales Tax Payment Required,” was updated to clarify proof of sales tax paid must include the vehicle identification number on the Additional Sales Tax Receipt, not the applicant’s name.

Chapter 3 – Transfer of Ownership
Section 3.2, “Assignment and Reassignment of Ownership Documents,” was updated to remove reference to insurance companies using a dealer reassignment since they are not authorized to use the form.

Thank you,

Jeremiah Kuntz, Director
