The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV) allows individuals or companies to establish a motor
vehicle inquiry account that allows for remote electronic access, through the Internet via a secure website, to
motor vehicle title and registration (VTR) records under certain conditions. To establish a Motor Vehicle
Inquiry Account, the purchaser must enter into a written service agreement with the department, in accordance
with the provisions of the Transportation Code. Additionally, the federal Driver's Privacy Protection Act (18
U.S.C. §2721) was enacted which governs the release and use of personal data contained in the VTR
database, and provides for civil and criminal penalties for non-compliance with the law. The enclosed Motor
Vehicle Inquiry Service Contract for Accessing Texas Motor Vehicle Records addresses the provisions of this
law.

protected by law and must be treated in a confidential manner. Only requestors who certify the intended use of
the information is for one or more of the permitted uses listed in Attachment "A" of the service contract may
have access to the privacy protected personal information contained in the VTR database. The service
contract outlines the conditions under which TxDMV may provide the access to the VTR database via the
Internet and stipulates restrictions regarding the use of the privacy protected personal information obtained by
virtue of the agreement, either directly or indirectly.
The restrictions apply to all contracted users and any third parties that may obtain VTR record information from
the contractor, either directly or in.. -ectly. Each contractor must comply with the provisions of the federal
Driver's Privacy Protection Act. Penalties for violating the restrictions specified in the contract may result in
immediate termination of the contract.
The attached Motor Vehicle Inquiry Service Contract for Accessing Texas Motor Vehicle Records is for multiple
locations and multiple User Identification Codes (User ID), if applicable. Each individual who is to have access
under this contract must be assigned a unique User ID only for their use.
To establish a Motor Vehicle Inquiry Account, the following documents must be completed and returned:
