Relating to title requirements, identification number inspections, and evidence of ownership for certain vehicles.

HB 4368 modifies Texas vehicle title and identification requirements by mandating identification number inspections for specific vehicles, including those imported from outside the U.S. or lacking a title record in the state’s system. The bill specifies that inspections must verify a vehicle’s identity when owners file bonds to obtain titles or need assigned identification numbers. It grants the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles authority to establish additional vehicle categories requiring inspections through department rules. Additionally, the bill adds requirements for notifying lienholders and a 30-day waiting period before issuing titles when using bonds without a general distinguishing number.
