I'm confused. Is the info on the link current?
Texas will no longer allow registration without proof of inspection.
Yes, it is current and spot on. All of this took place March 1, 2015.
If Texas will not issue registration without proof of inspection, what do you do if you are out of Texas when your registration is due and in a state that does not require vehicle inspections?
Copy/Paste from www.registeredtexan.com
If your vehicle is out of state and you are unable to complete a Texas vehicle inspection in order to renew your registration, you will be able to self-certify that the vehicle is out of state and will be permitted to register.
You may renew your registration using self-certification online, by mail or in-person. Please contact your county tax office for more information about their requirements for out-of-state registration renewal.
If you renew your registration using the out-of-state self-certification option, a remark will be placed on your vehicle record indicating that an inspection is still due. Once you return to Texas, you must complete a vehicle inspection within three days of your arrival at your home, duty station or destination. It is very important that you keep the Vehicle Inspection Report issued after completing your inspection in case you are stopped by law enforcement before the remark is removed from your vehicle record, which takes about 48 hours. The remark will only be removed upon payment of the state's portion of the inspection fee and verification of a current, passing inspection.
