Welcome to webDEALER | ePLATE (formerly eTAG)

The webDEALER|ePLATE (formerly eTAG) system is designed to make processing license plates (previously dealer tags) fast and easy for dealerships throughout the state while making license plate information available in almost real-time to law enforcement.

July 1, 2025: webDEALER Requirement

On July 1, 2025, a new law requires all licensed Texas dealers to use the TxDMV webDEALER system to electronically process title and registration for vehicle sales. Dealers without webDEALER accounts will not be able to complete sales transactions beginning July 1, 2025. Learn more about House Bill 718 (HB 718) and the changes it requires on our HB 718 page.

Making webDEALER Work for You

The webDEALER system was developed so that it could be readily used in a typical business environment that uses a Windows-based operating system, the most commonly used Web browser, and high-speed broadband (DSL) or cable internet connections. While it is possible to vary from these standards somewhat, for your convenience, we have spelled out the optimal hardware and software environment

We're also happy to walk you through the login process and give you record-keeping tips.
