Collin County officials are taking steps to support small car dealerships facing challenges due to recent changes in title processing. During the Commissioners Court meeting on October 6, 2025, a proposal was discussed to hire a part-time title processing specialist in McKinney. This position aims to assist smaller dealerships that are struggling to keep up with the backlog created by the new Webb Dealer system, which has favored larger dealers.

The transition to the Webb Dealer system has resulted in delays for small dealerships, which often operate on tight cash flow. These businesses typically do not receive payment for vehicles sold until the title work is completed, making them vulnerable to financial strain during processing delays. The proposed part-time position would help expedite the title processing for these smaller dealers, ensuring they can access funding more quickly and continue their operations without interruption.

The initiative is seen as crucial for the economic health of Collin County, as supporting local businesses directly benefits taxpayers. By addressing the needs of small dealerships, the county aims to foster a more equitable environment in the automotive market, allowing all dealers to thrive regardless of their size.

This decision reflects a commitment to understanding and mitigating the impacts of state-level changes on local businesses, ensuring that small dealers can remain competitive and successful in the community.
