relating to certain electronic documentation for the transfer of a motor vehicle title.
Caption from analyzed text · version I.
No printed signature needed. No stamped old title either.
The bill tells the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles it cannot reject certain title-transfer forms (VTR-271-A, VTR-41-A, or equivalents) just because an electronic signature was not printed on the form. It also bars the department from demanding proof that an old, superseded title was stamped invalid when those forms are signed and sent electronically. This touches car dealers, lenders, title services and vehicle owners who handle title transfers electronically, and it removes two paperwork hurdles for them.
