The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) is experiencing issues that are preventing inspections from being saved to the database. Due to this vehicle inspection issue, vehicle inspections cannot be conducted by inspection stations after August 23, 2023. This outage will prevent dealers from issuing a Buyer’s Tag for a vehicle that was not inspected prior to August 24, 2023. If you experience difficulty issuing a Buyer’s Tag for an inspected vehicle, it is appropriate to utilize your pre-printed Internet Down tags. Every dealer is allocated a minimum of 30 Internet Down tags.
Please remember that after using an Internet Down tag, you must enter the information for that tag into webDEALER. Doing this will ensure you always have the full allocation of unused Internet Down tags available when you need them. Internet Down tags are valid for one year from the date they are printed.
An update will be sent once the issue has been resolved.
Thank you,
Texas Department of Motor Vehicles
