By how many days must the Transfer of Demolisher sheet for a junk vehicle abated by the city be forwarded to TX-DOT?

• A. 3 Days
• B. 5 Days
• C. 7 Days
• D. 10 Days

Answer: (B)

Prompt reporting to TX-DOT after city abatement is the main idea here. When a city completes the removal of a junk vehicle, the Transfer of Demolisher sheet serves as official notice to TX-DOT that the vehicle has been demolished and the demolisher’s responsibility ends. That notice needs to reach TX-DOT quickly so state records stay accurate and current, helping avoid mismatches between local action and state data.

Five days is the typical window for sending this sheet because it balances practical clerical processing with the need for timely documentation. A much shorter deadline would be hard to meet in routine operations, while a longer period could delay updating the state’s records and create gaps in enforcement or tracking. Therefore, the correct timeframe is five days.
