Check out this
web page.From it:
"The Department of Public Safety extends the time within which a certificate of inspection shall be obtained by a resident owner or operator of a Texas-registered vehicle, when the vehicle has no valid inspection certificate. The extension will be granted only on the first occasion of operation in this state during an inspection year and only until the resident owner or operator of the vehicle has arrived at his home, station, or destination in this state and for three days thereafter."So, theoretically at least, you could arrive at El Paso and then take a couple of weeks to travel across the state to your domicile before getting the inspections. I think an officer would probably ask for documentation proving you have been out of state.
