KeepTXRed treats the official legislative record and latest official action as the factual status layer for SB 1464.

Bill → law → agency context
This relationship layer distinguishes what the normalized official record can prove from what it cannot. Enactment and effective dates come from the bill record. Agency names below are shown only when an official fiscal document supplies a verified agency reference; being cited in a fiscal note does not by itself prove that the agency administers the resulting law.

KeepTXRed summary
SB 1464 closes a vehicle-title hearing loophole by preventing county tax assessor-collector hearings when the disputed vehicle is already tied up in certain litigation, court awards, criminal evidence, or salvage-title circumstances.
What would change
A person may not use the statutory county hearing process to challenge a TxDMV title decision involving a salvage or nonrepairable vehicle, a vehicle that is the subject of pending litigation or court proceedings, a vehicle whose ownership or possession has been awarded by a court to someone else, or a vehicle held as evidence in a criminal investigation. The county assessor-collector must deny a prohibited application without providing the usual hearing notice or hearing.
Who may be affected
Vehicle owners and claimants, county tax assessor-collectors, TxDMV, law-enforcement agencies, courts, insurers, lienholders, and parties in ownership or possession disputes.
When it would take effect
The Act takes effect September 1, 2025.
Limits and uncertainty
The law removes the administrative hearing path only for the specified categories. It does not itself determine ultimate ownership of a vehicle or eliminate judicial remedies otherwise available under law.
