House Bill 2394 amends the Transportation Code to add temporary provisions, set to expire August 31, 2015, requiring the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV) to conduct a study of the feasibility of requiring title for each trailer, semitrailer, or travel trailer that is not manufactured housing. The bill sets out the duties required of TxDMV in conducting the study, including that TxDMV use input from local governmental entities providing certain title services, automotive theft experts, statewide associations representing agricultural entities, and statewide associations of counties. The bill requires the comptroller of public accounts to assist TxDMV in conducting the study and requires TxDMV to prepare and submit a report containing its findings and recommendations, not later than September 1, 2014, to the lieutenant governor, the speaker of the house of representatives, and the presiding officer of each legislative standing committee with primary jurisdiction over motor vehicles.
