TxDPS - VI Recognized Emissions Repair Facility Locator

Recognized Emissions Repair Program

The "Recognized Emissions Repair Facility of Texas" program is available to assist motorists in identifying vehicle emissions repair shops in their area.

If your vehicle fails the emissions test, we have provided a list of Recognized Emissions Repair Facilities (RERF) in your general area. You may choose one of these facilities, another repair facility, or perform the repairs yourself.

If your vehicle fails the re-test and you choose to apply for a waiver, the facility that performed the repair will have a bearing on how much of the emissions-related repair cost can be applied toward the waiver.

If you choose a Recognized Emissions Repair Facility of Texas to repair your vehicle, all diagnostic, parts and labor costs associated with the emissions-related repairs go toward the waiver requirements.
If you choose an independent, non-recognized facility or perform the emissions repairs yourself, only the cost of certain emissions-related parts involved in the emissions-related repairs apply to the waiver requirements.
All receipts related to the repairs must be retained and presented to a Department representative when applying for a waiver.
