Auto Burglary and Theft Prevention

Thousands of cars are stolen in the state of Texas each year. Every vehicle, no matter the make, model or year, is a target for thieves. TxDMV is combating this by educating the public about what they can do to lessen their chances of being a victim.

The Automobile Burglary and Theft Prevention Authority (ABTPA) oversees the impact of auto theft in Texas and provides financial support to fight it. Visit us on facebook or follow us on Twitter.
