Sec. 503.0626. DEALER'S AND CONVERTER'S TEMPORARY TAG DATABASE. (a) The department shall develop and maintain a secure, real-time database of information on vehicles to which dealers and converters have affixed temporary tags. The database shall be managed by the vehicle titles and registration division of the department.
(b) The database must allow law enforcement agencies to use the vehicle-specific number assigned to and displayed on the tag as required by Section 503.062(d) or Section 503.0625(e) to obtain information about the dealer or converter that owns the vehicle.
(c) Before a dealer's or converter's temporary tag may be displayed on a vehicle, the dealer or converter must enter into the database through the Internet information on the vehicle and information about the dealer or converter as prescribed by the department. The department may not deny access to the database to any dealer who holds a general distinguishing number issued under this chapter or who is licensed under Chapter 2301, Occupations Code, or to any converter licensed under Chapter 2301, Occupations Code.
(d) The department shall adopt rules and prescribe procedures as necessary to implement this section.
