If over 4,500 lbs (I think) you have to have current inspection before you can register it. Same as our cars and trucks. New requirement this year to get registration. Inspection has been required for years but not enforced. Now you have no choice.
But not much to it. Checked tires, lights, and that it had a breakaway switch (did not check to see if it worked, just that it was there). Did not even check that the brakes worked.
BB_TX,
What kind of trailer did you get inspected, where, and how long ago? We had the pre-registration inspection done on our fifth wheel in Polk County, TX, in September. Lights, breakaway mechanism, tires and other equipment were checked... then I had to drive the rig with the inspector in the passenger seat and run it through a brake test on a marked stretch of pavement. The rig had to stop within "X" number of feet from a specified speed (I don't remember the speed or distance).
