How to Change or Relocate Your Texas Dealership Address

Under TxDMV rules, a dealer needs a valid GDN for each location from which it does business, so moving has licensing consequences.

Moving vs. adding a location

Relocating replaces your current location. Adding a location generally means a separate GDN for the new site.

Plan the move

1. Check the new property against premises requirements.
2. Confirm local zoning.
3. Make sure the new lease term works.
4. Prepare your sign for the new location.
5. Update your license with TxDMV following its current amendment process.
6. Update your bond and business records as needed.
