Vehicle Registration Renewal Is different In The State of Texas

A new law modernizing the vehicle registration procedure was voted for in the

The Lone-star State's 2014 legislative session.

We need to figure out this updated law to stay clear of problems.

We are going to still need to get our automobiles inspected and pay the State of Texas for our

vehicle registration yearly, except both are going to be displayed as part of a single sticker on your

windshield; that’s the short version.

As it is with any law, the functional portion is a little more complicated.

Vehicle Registration Renewal Continues to

be the Same

Vehicle registration renewal is the exact same as always.

The only change is that your vehicle’s inspection must be current before they will

allow you to renew your registration.

If your inspection is current, you will get through the registration process as usual.

You may then use the sticker to replace both stickers (car registration and safety inspection) that are on your windshield.

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 you a little money.

What If Your State of Texas Inspection Will be Due Prior To Or At The Same Time As The

Vehicle Registration Renewal

If you vehicle registration renewal is due in the same month

as your safety inspection, inspect the

car first.

You'll be in a position to renew your registration when the inspection record is

placed into the Texas records.

If inspection is due before, things are simply a bit more complex.

Once it's due, have the automobile safety inspected.

You will not be given a sticker, so save the report inside your glove compartment.

In case of a traffic stop, you need that documentation to show the law

enforcement officer.

When your vehicle registration is due, register your vehicle normally and use the sticker to replace both the previous ones.

Later adhere to the updated procedure of “inspection, then renewal” during the month

your registration is due.
