Phishing email warning - webDEALER/eTAG

Texas DMV

WARNING

The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV) has received reports of potential phishing activity involving the webDEALER/eTAG system(s) using emails that appear to be from TxDMV.

Be advised that TxDMV will NOT ask you:

  • To click a link in an email to access TxDMV systems.
  • For your social security number or other sensitive, personal information by email if you have not initiated an outreach to us.

Always access your accounts with us through the TxDMV website. Never click on a link in an email you are not expecting that looks like it came from TxDMV. Many phishing scams can look legitimate, which is why TxDMV will not send out a general email asking for information from you with an embedded link.

If you have any questions or if you receive an email you are not expecting from TxDMV asking you for information, please call 1-888-368-4689 and our customer care team will be glad to help you.

Sincerely,
Information Technology Services Division (ITSD)
