During the summer of 2002, several Texas cities were hit by major flooding. As a result of this flooding, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) received applications for vehicles that had incurred flood damage. The vehicle information for these vehicles has been added to the Flood Damaged Vehicle Database, which also includes vehicles damaged from Tropical Storm Allison when it flooded Southeast Texas in June 2001.

Many of these flood damaged vehicles are being purchased in Texas and then transported throughout the United States for resale. This site provides a vehicle listing for consumers to assist them to determine if their vehicle was titled as Flood Damaged vehicle. Texas law requires the titles of flood vehicles to be marked as such. Sometimes, however, that disclosure is not retained when a new title is obtained in another state. If you find that a car you purchased had a ''Flood Damaged'' title and this was not disclosed to you, contact the Attorney General's office in your state.

The State of Florida has an online vehicle check site that allows checking a vehicle for flood damaged vehicles that has been issued a Florida Certificate of Title at https://www6.hsmv.state.fl.us/rrdmvcheck/mvcheckinq.

Notice:
The vehicle listing on this site is provided by TxDOT and can only be used to identify vehicles that received ''Flood Damaged'' titles in this state or that were reported as flood damaged by insurance companies. TxDOT relies on insurance companies or vehicle owners to notify us that water or flood has damaged a vehicle.

If your vehicle does not appear on this site, there is still a chance that it has water damage, and has not been titled accordingly. If you wish to request a complete title history from TxDOT, you may download the Request for Texas Motor Vehicle Information (Form VTR-275). Also several vendors provide vehicle history information.
