SB 2668 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to regulation of vehicle storage facilities and the approval and regulation by the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles of Internet websites for the public sale of certain abandoned vehicles by vehicle storage facility operators.

SB 2668 requires vehicle storage facility operators in Texas to sell abandoned vehicles through Internet websites approved by the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV). It mandates specific proof of notice delivery (like certified mail receipts) before vehicles can be deemed abandoned after a 10-day claim period. The bill creates new rules for TxDMV to approve online sale platforms and specifies that operators don't need lien releases to sell vehicles. This directly affects vehicle storage businesses by changing how they legally dispose of abandoned vehicles through regulated online sales.
