Updates for this release are marked with red change bars in the text.
Chapter 1 – General
Section 1.1, “Definitions,” was updated to remove the Salvage Vehicle Agent section as a result of Senate Bill (SB) 604, enacted by the 86th Legislature. SB 604 repealed Occupations Code, Section 2302.107, regarding a Salvage Vehicle Agent License. The manual was updated throughout to remove all references to a salvage vehicle agent and license, which includes removing Section 5.4, “Salvage Vehicle Agent License,” in Chapter 5.
Chapter 5 – Salvage Dealers
Section 5.1, “Salvage Vehicle Dealer License,” was updated to include additional acts that a salvage vehicle dealer may perform when issued a salvage vehicle dealer license, as a result of SB 604 and changes to Occupations Code, Chapter 2302.
Additionally, this section and references throughout the manual were updated to specify a salvage vehicle dealer may only sell salvage or nonrepairable motor vehicles that have been issued a salvage or nonrepairable vehicle title, as detailed in Registration and Title Bulletin (RTB) #008-19.
Chapter 9 – Forms, References, and Q&As
Section 9.5, “Questions and Answers,” was updated to include the above referenced changes for salvage vehicle dealers and the changes detailed in RTB #008-19.
