Texas State Car Inspections

In the state of Texas, all vehicles are required to undergo a yearly safety inspection. The purpose of the Texas state vehicle inspection is to ensure that all vehicles on the road are safe and meet minimum standards. The inspection includes a visual check of the vehicle’s exterior and interior, as well as a test of the engine, brakes, and lights. If any defects are found, they must be repaired before the vehicle can pass the inspection. In some cases, additional tests may be required, such as an emissions test. The Texas state vehicle inspection is an important part of keeping our roads safe for everyone. In Texas, all vehicles must pass a state vehicle inspection before they can be registered.


Criteria To pass a Texas state inspection

The requirements vary depending on the type of vehicle, but they typically involve:

  • Emissions test
  • Having functioning headlights
  • Having functioning tail lights
  • Having functioning turn signals
  • Testing seat belt function
  • Safe tire tread depth
  • Uncracked windshields
  • No leaking fluids
  • Brake tests
  • Having intact windshield wipers
  • Matching vehicle identification number (VIN)

If your vehicle passes all these tests, then you will be issued a passing certificate and you will be able to legally operate your vehicle on Texas roads. From there, you can register your vehicle with your county and await your Texas registration sticker in the mail.
