| Background: | In September 2013, TXDMV created a Web-Dealer program. Web-Dealer is an electronic title and registration system that processes title/registration applications from any internet-connected computer. Dealers will be able to process registration and title transactions electronically; they will no longer have to bring their transactions to the Tax office. The web-dealer program will create e-titles that lead to reducing title fraud. It will support electronic storage of all title information (e-titles), and read hard stops.
The agreement will provide the following benefits:
- Convenience (improve dealer and customer service)
- Helps TAC provide title and registration needs to the public.
- Fee’s paid thru ACH method, allows TAC confirmation of fees.
- Transactions are not lost.
- Dealer knows status of transaction.
- No manual handling of title transactions by TAC.
