Vehicle Registration Process Has Changed In Texas
2
The vehicle registration renewal process was
updated in 2014.
3
We need to understand this new law to avoid
problems.
4
Now there will only be one sticker on our
windshield for both the state safety inspection
and the registration.
5
Here is how it works.
6
How Is Vehicle Registration Different?
7
Vehicle registration renewal is the same as
always.
8
However, it is now tied to your safety
inspection.
9
If your inspection is in-date, you can go
through the process normally.
10
The sticker you are issued is then used to
replace both state inspection and registration
stickers.
11
If your state inspection is due after you
vehicle registration renewal, it won't be due
again until the next time registration is due,
which could save a little money.
12
My State Inspection Is Due The Same Month/Before
My Vehicle Registration Renewal
13
If you registration renewal is due in the same as
your safety inspection, inspect your vehicle
first.
14
Once the inspection is on file with the state,
you can get your registration renewal sticker and
use it to replace both your safety inspection and
registration stickers.
15
Things are different if your safety inspection
is due before your registration renewal.
16
When it is due, have your vehicle safety
inspected.
17
Keep your safety report with you in the glove
compartment.
18
In the event of a traffic stop, you need that
paperwork to show the police officer.
19
Use the sticker you are issued when you renew
your registration to replace both of the older
stickers.
20
Next year, you will need to have your vehicle
inspected and in the state's computers within the
3 months prior to renewing your registration.

Where can I go for more answers? A website has
been provided by The State of Texas to help
answer any question about the new system.
