To which agency must the Transfer of Demolisher sheet be sent after abating a junk vehicle?

• A. City Clerk
• B. Police Department
• C. TX-DOT
• D. Department of Motor Vehicles

Answer: (C)

The important idea is documenting the disposition of a junk vehicle by transferring responsibility to the demolisher and reporting that action to the state. After a junk vehicle is abated, the city must record that the vehicle has been handed over to a licensed demolisher and that the destruction or disposal is complete. The Transfer of Demolisher sheet is the official record of that handoff, and it must be sent to the Texas Department of Transportation so the state can update its records on the vehicle’s disposition. This centralized reporting helps prevent the vehicle from being re-registered or misused and ensures the demolition is tracked in statewide records. The other agencies aren’t the correct recipients for this particular transfer: the City Clerk handles local records, the Police Department isn’t the state-wide repository for demolisher transfers, and the Department of Motor Vehicles deals with titles and registrations but not the formal transfer of demolition responsibility to a demolisher.
