Some Tarrant Title Cases Need a VTR-68-A VIN Inspection

Tarrant County Cars & Driving

Most Tarrant County title work is routine, but some cases need a law-enforcement VIN inspection first. That inspection is Form VTR-68-A.

It confirms the vehicle identification number for title work or helps sort out an assigned or reassigned VIN. This can come up with home-built trailers, kit cars, or a title that does not match the vehicle.

It is not a safety inspection, and the Sheriff's Office does not run a weight scale. If a title clerk or TxDMV points you to VTR-68-A, follow the Sheriff's request process and wait for the appointment instructions.
