Please review and distribute as appropriate.
As you are aware, Senate Bill (SB) 604, enacted by the 86th Legislature, amended Transportation Code, Section 520.005 by adding Subsection (e). This new subsection requires each county tax assessor-collector to make webDEALER available to any licensed motor vehicle dealers (“dealers”) requesting access effective September 1, 2020.
The department’s webDEALER project team has worked to address defects and previous enhancement requests made by county tax assessor-collectors and dealers currently utilizing webDEALER. Programming changes for this first release were originally scheduled for August 31 to coincide with the effective date of SB 604. The department is actively involved in User Acceptance Testing to ensure a high-quality product and therefore has postponed the release. The department will provide an update as we determine a new release date.
Please note that postponement of the programming release has no impact on the requirement to provide webDEALER access to dealers who make a request effective September 1, 2020.
Thank you,
Jeremiah Kuntz, Director
Vehicle Titles and Registration Division
Texas Department of Motor Vehicles
