The vehicle registration sticker renewal process was modernized in twenty-fourteen. This new driving law affects every State of Texas driver. Now there will only be one sticker on our windshield for both the state safety inspection and the vehicle registration.
8. The only change is that the vehicle’s
inspection must be current before they will
permit you to renew your vehicle
registration.
9. If your inspection is in-date, you can go
through the vehicle registration process as
usual.
10. The sticker that you're issued is then used to
replace both the state inspection and
automobile registration stickers.
11. Your next State of Texas inspection is not
due again until just before your next vehicle
registration renewal, so you might possibly
be able to save a few bucks.
12. My State of Texas Inspection Will be Due The
Same Month/Prior to The Vehicle
Registration Sticker Renewal
13. If you vehicle registration renewal is due the
same time as your safety inspection, inspect
the vehicle first.
14. When the inspection information has been
placed online with the state database, you may
then get the vehicle registration renewal sticker
and use it to replace your safety inspection and
vehicle registration stickers.
15. If inspection is due
before, it is simply a
little more
complicated.
16. When it is due, have the car or truck
inspected.
17. You will not get a sticker, so save the report
inside your glove compartment.
18. In the event of a traffic stop, you will need
that documentation to show the police
officer.
19. As soon as your vehicle registration is due,
register your car or truck as normal and use
the sticker to replace both of the previous
ones.
20. The following year, you will need to get your
car or truck inspected and into the state's
databases within three months prior to
renewing your vehicle registration.
