Section 8.3, “Bonded Title,” was updated to include alternative ways the value of certain vehicles may be determined, as outlined in Texas Administrative Code, §217.9.
Chapter 13 – Vehicle Identification Numbers
Section 13.6, “Assigned and Reassigned Identification Numbers,” was updated to allow a bond to be used as ownership evidence for any vehicle requiring an assigned or reassigned number, as outlined in Texas Administrative Code, §217.5.
