Vehicle Inspection Requirements

The Texas Department of Public Safety Vehicle Inspection requires that all vehicles registered in the state must undergo annual emission (exemption in some counties) and safety inspections once in a year. The Texas DPS passenger car inspectors follow a checklist while conducting an annual safety inspection. During the process, the inspector checks your vehicle’s operation, visibility, horns, windshield wipers, mirrors, steering, and seat belts, and brake system parking.
