Relating to motor vehicle titles.
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
SB 1817 would grant the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) the ability to place a title application on hold if they receive a hold request due to evidence of a lawsuit regarding vehicle ownership.
An applicant would be able to appeal the hold unless the title is related to a salvaged or non-repairable vehicle.
Preventing an applicant from appealing a hold on a salvaged or non-repairable vehicle is an unnecessary property rights infringement. We recommend opposing SB 1817 unless amended to withdraw this provision.
