Keeping vehicles on Texas Roadways safe...

Texas registered vehicles are required to receive an annual inspection.
The Vehicle inspection includes a comprehensive safety inspection to ensure basic road worthiness.
Vehicles registered in counties classified by Federal EPA as being in nonattainment status (17) are required to have an emissions test in addition to the safety inspection.
