Starting in March 2014, the safety inspection has to be within 90 days before the registration renewal.
If you have two vehicles (truck and trailer, or moho and toad) with spread-out registration dates, that could necessitate two trips to Texas each year, each within a certain window.
And it's worse for us because we're domiciled in an emissions-testing county. The moho is diesel so it's exempt from emissions testing (but still has to have safety inspection), but the car has to have it, and only certain areas offer that type of inspection (Austin, Dallas, Houston, El Paso). So we can't just dip into Texas in the panhandle to get it inspected. In fact, we can't get it inspected anywhere between Dallas and El Paso and northward.
