Notice of Vehicles Awaiting Authority to Demolish

The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles received a petition to demolish the vehicles listed below. Pursuant to statute, the department is required to provide notice to all owner(s) and lienholder(s) of their right to claim the vehicle. This serves as notice an application has been submitted to the department for authorization to dispose of the motor vehicle listed below to a motor vehicle demolisher. The motor vehicle’s owners or lienholders have the right to claim the motor vehicle not later than the 20th day after the date the notice is published. Failure to notify the department the vehicle has been claimed before the 21st day after the date the notice is published waives a person’s rights, title, and interest in the motor vehicle, and is considered consent for the department to issue to the applicant a certificate of authority under Transportation Code, Section 683.054, to dispose of the motor vehicle to a motor vehicle demolisher. The owner(s) or lienholder(s) may notify the department the vehicle has been claimed by calling the Vehicle Titles and Registration Division at (512) 465-5659, option #1.
Note: A motor vehicle must be destroyed once the department issues a Certificate of Authority.
