Texas Department of Motor Vehicles Snapshot
When it comes to vehicle registration in Texas, the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV) sits in the driver's seat. The state-run agency is responsible for vehicle registrations and titles, dealership licensing, and issuing motor carrier (i.e. trucking companies) operating authority. It also provides vehicle-related consumer protection services and provides funds to auto theft-prevention enforcement agencies. Driver's licenses are issued by the Texas Department of Public Safety, which is unaffiliated with TxDMV. The agency was founded in 2009 to handle some of the responsibilities formerly held by the Texas Department of Transportation. It is headed by a nine-member board appointed by the Texas governor.
