Texas Revising Inspection Procedure

Texas is changing their inspection procedure. Now when you get your vehicle inspection the inspection station notifies the DMV that your inspection has been satisfactorily completed. The DMV in turn will not issue a new registration (license renewal) until this notice has been received. The net result is that you will now only have one windshield sticker required for operating the vehicle on the road (and motorcycles will be able to get rid of that tacky inspection sticker holder).
There is an initial problem, probably quite common among the older RV community, that your inspection is not in the same sequence (expiration month) that your license registration is. Trying to determine the rules of getting these two requirements in sync is confusing but there is a solution. On the Texas Two-Step One-Sticker Resource website, on the right side of the page, there is a calculator. If you put in your registration and inspection expiration dates it will give you the date your next inspection is required.

I went to the link provided by DougE and this is not the information that has been on the news. My inspection and registration each expire in December and from the link I will have to have an inspection. THIS IS NOT what has been put out on the news! While I am all for one sticker, I sure hope this doesn't end up being a MESS!

I wonder how this will affect the full timers who call Texas home but may not be in the state for several years. How will they renew their registration?

Sounds confusing. Glad Indiana did away with vehicle inspections years ago. I remember when they did require inspection, but that didn't stop anyone from driving. Then I also remember when they dissolved the inspection requirement ... and I think everyone had a little way too much to drink that day! What a party! ๐Ÿ˜‰
