TxDMV VTR-265-L - Landlord's Lien Foreclosure

Form VTR-265-L is a Landlord's Lien Foreclosure issued by the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV). This form is used by landlords to initiate the foreclosure of a lien on a motor vehicle due to unpaid storage fees. When a vehicle owner fails to pay the storage fees to the landlord, the landlord can use this form to claim possession of the vehicle and proceed with its sale to recover the unpaid fees. The purpose of this form is to enable the landlord to recover the outstanding fees through the sale of the vehicle. The parties involved in this form are the landlord, who files the form with the TxDMV to initiate the lien foreclosure, and the vehicle owner, who is notified about the foreclosure and the potential sale of the vehicle to settle the outstanding fees.

The form contains sections where the landlord provides essential information about the vehicle owner, the vehicle's description, and the outstanding storage fees. The landlord must also provide evidence that they provided proper notice to the vehicle owner regarding the unpaid fees before proceeding with the lien foreclosure. The notice is usually in the form of a written letter sent to the vehicle owner's last known address. Once the form is submitted to the TxDMV, the lien foreclosure process begins, and the vehicle may be sold to recover the unpaid storage fees.
