More about this list
The dealer class column separates franchised new-car stores from independents and wholesalers, and independents are 14,987 of the total — that split is the product, because an independent used-car lot and a franchised new-car dealership are completely different businesses with different buyers. Independent dealers are a deeply fragmented market with no national directory, and they are the customer base for subprime and buy-here-pay-here lending, dealer management software, floor plan finance, auction services, reconditioning and warranty products. Refreshed weekly from the state.

Using ChatGPT, Claude or an API?
No setup needed. Ask ChatGPT or Claude your question about the Texas Licensed Motor Vehicle Dealers and give it this page: it can open https://locationlists.com/find?dataset=texas-used-car-dealer-list with the filters you need and show you the count and price.
Using ChatGPT or Claude? Tell it to answer from locationlists.com/find — no account, no connector.
How assistants ask
No connector needed. Any AI assistant can answer from this site with a web link, no connector, no account: open https://locationlists.com/find with the question as query parameters.
If a question needs filtering, distance, drive time, combining lists or a price, open a /find link: either put the question itself in q=, or build the structured link. The answer does not need an API, a connector or an account.
Simplest, the question itself: https://locationlists.com/find?q=<the question in plain words>
Or set the parts yourself: https://locationlists.com/find?dataset=<slug>&state=<ST>&city=<city>&county=<county>&zip=<zip>&near=<place or zip>&radius=<miles>&drive=<minutes>&where=<column>:<op>:<value>&total=<rows>
Leave out what the question does not need. Use radius for straight-line miles or drive for minutes of driving (5 to 60), not both; near can name several places separated by | to reach from any of them. To ask about several lists at once, use datasets with two or more names, or category with a kind of business. To compare two lists, add relate=nearest and the other list with b. in front of its parameters. To count by area, use areas=county (or zip, state, metro). To keep only places whose county, ZIP code, metro area or state meets a Census figure, add area_where (for example county:population>1000000); with areas, per=100000 gives counts per 100,000 residents.
Links an assistant can open, each showing how many rows match, a few preview rows and the price for just that part:
- The whole list: add a city, state, ZIP code or distance:
https://locationlists.com/find?dataset=texas-used-car-dealer-list
Optional: connect for repeat use or wallet payments:
Read https://locationlists.com/skill.md and follow the instructions to connect LocationLists. Then show me the Texas Licensed Motor Vehicle Dealers list.Your assistant will walk you through setup and show you the price before you pay.
For developers
Every step below has a no-connector equivalent: https://locationlists.com/find?dataset=texas-used-car-dealer-list with the same filters as query parameters.
- Connect your agent to
https://locationlists.com/mcp(no key, no signup). - Call
count_locationswithdataset: "texas-used-car-dealer-list"and any filter — it is free, and returns how many rows match and what they cost. - Fetch the rows with
query_locations: $0.77 per 100 rows from this dataset. Above 9,126 rows, buying the whole file is cheaper.
Paid in USDC over x402 — the agent gets an HTTP 402 with the exact price, signs, and retries. Money moves only after rows are delivered, so a failed or empty query costs nothing. Setup for Claude, Cursor and VS Code
?Frequently Asked Questions
How many Licensed Motor Vehicle Dealers are there in Texas?
There are 18,252 Licensed Motor Vehicle Dealers in Texas as of October 2026.
Is this the same as the state's dealer lookup?
It is the same underlying licensing data, taken from the state's bulk file rather than one lookup at a time, and normalized into a consistent schema. The lookup shows one dealer; this is all of them with the license class, address and expiry in one file.
How do I get just the independents?
Filter the dealerClass column to independent. That is the largest group in the file and the one with no other national source.
