Form VTR-71-6. Application for Authority to Dispose of an Abandoned Nuisance Vehicle to a Demolisher - Texas

The Form VTR-71-6 is used in Texas to apply for authority to dispose of an abandoned nuisance vehicle to a demolisher. This form is necessary when individuals or entities want to dispose of an abandoned motor vehicle that is considered a nuisance and needs to be dismantled or crushed.

The form consists of sections that require accurate completion, including vehicle information, details of abandonment, and certification requirements.

When filling out the Form VTR-71-6, it is important to:

• Provide accurate vehicle information, such as make, model, year, and VIN (Vehicle Identification Number).
• Include information about the circumstances of abandonment, including the date of abandonment, location, and any available details about the previous owner.
• Certify that the vehicle meets the criteria for disposal as an abandoned nuisance vehicle and that appropriate attempts have been made to locate the owner.

This form is necessary to ensure the proper disposal of abandoned vehicles that are considered nuisances. Disposing of the vehicle to a demolisher helps address the problem of abandoned vehicles, reduces blight in communities, and facilitates the recycling or safe disposal of its components.

An alternative form may not be available specifically for disposing of an abandoned nuisance vehicle to a demolisher. However, individuals or entities can contact the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or local authorities for additional guidance and related forms regarding the disposal of abandoned vehicles.
