(a) A holder of a motor vehicle title service license
shall maintain records as required by Texas law for each transaction
in which the license holder receives compensation. The records shall
include:
(1) the date of the transaction;
(2) the name, age, address, sex, driver license number,
and a legible photocopy of the driver's license for each customer;
and
(3) the vehicle make, model, year, license plate number,
vehicle identification number, and a legible photocopy of proof of
financial responsibility for the motor vehicle involved.
(b) A motor vehicle title service shall keep, for at
least two (2) years after the date of the transaction:
(1) two copies of all records required under this section;
(2) legible photocopies of any documents submitted
by a customer; and
(3) legible photocopies of any documents submitted
to the Hidalgo County Tax Assessor-Collector.
(c) A motor vehicle title service license holder or
any of its employees shall allow an inspection of the required records
by a peace officer on the premises of the motor vehicle title service
at any reasonable time to verify, check, or audit the records. Failure
to do so, or to maintain required records, may result in discipline
under these rules.
