Inspections State law requires almost every motor vehicle to carry a safety inspection sticker.
Inspections are available at certified garages and auto dealerships.
Cost of the inspection sticker fee is based on the year of the vehicle. Failure to obtain the license plates, driver's license or inspection sticker could result in a ticket. The sticker is valid for one year, except in the case of new cars, which have two-year stickers. Texas drivers are required by law to carry liability insurance on vehicles that travel public roads. Proof of liability insurance must be carried at all times.
