Texas Inspection
Designated vehicles registered in designated counties must pass an emissions inspection prior to registration. The emissions inspection is required annually, in conjunction with a safety inspection.
Designated counties include: Brazoria, Collin, Dallas, Denton, Ellis, El Paso, Fort Bend, Galveston, Harris, Johnson, Kaufman, Parker, Rockwall, Tarrant, Travis, and Williamson.
Designated vehicles are vehicles capable of being powered by gasoline, from 2 through 24 years old, and registered in or required to be registered and primarily operated in a designated county.
A vehicle is eligible for a waiver if it failed both its initial emissions inspection and re-test, and the owner incurred emission-related repair expenses of at least $450.
Visit the Texas Department of Public Safety for more information on emissions inspections in the state.
OBD is utilized as part of the state emissions inspection process.
We're all about convenient car care at Firestone Complete Auto Care, which is why some of our locations offer safety and emissions inspections. Please note that state vehicle inspections are not performed at all locations. Call your store ahead of time to confirm that this service is offered and to schedule an appointment.
Inspections are conducted on a state-by-state basis and requirements vary. To renew your registration, some states require annual emissions inspections and put your car through in-depth safety tests. Other states just want to make sure that your vehicle emissions are within a certain range. Others don't even require safety inspections or for you to pass emissions in order to get your registration sticker. North Dakota, for instance, doesn't require smog or emissions testing at all!
