HB 2863 modifies the Transportation Code to clarify the process for appealing a denial, revocation, or suspension of a vehicle title by the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV). It establishes that an appeal must be filed with the county assessor-collector in the applicant's county of residence, and the department must be notified immediately. The bill prohibits hearings for titles related to salvage vehicles, vehicles involved in pending litigation, vehicles awarded to another party by a court, or vehicles held as evidence in a criminal investigation. Applicants must submit an affidavit stating they meet eligibility requirements for a hearing. If a hearing request violates these rules, the county assessor-collector must deny the application without holding a hearing​.
