New Online System for Motor Vehicle Licensees - Soon you will be able to apply for, renew, or amend motor vehicle licenses online. The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV) is replacing its current paper-based licensing system with an online self-service hub for all motor vehicle licensees and salvage dealers operating in Texas. Although a release date has yet to be determined, TxDMV anticipates that the new system will be available in late 2016.

Exhibitions
and Shows
Motor vehicle events (shows and exhibitions) are a component of the motor vehicle and trailer distribution industry where marketing of motor vehicle and trailer products take place.
Whether the event is a single participant event or a multiple participant event, licensees must obtain permission from the Motor Vehicle Division (MVD) to participate before the date the show or exhibition opens. No fee is required.

- Texas Transportation Code Chapter 503.003,
- Texas Administrative Code, Title 43, Chapter 215.
