Beginning January 1, 2025, most vehicle safety inspections will be eliminated in Texas.

What does this mean for you? All non-commercial vehicles will no longer need a vehicle safety inspection prior to registration. A select number of counties will still require emissions tests, which drivers will need to complete prior to their vehicle registration.
