Texas Ends Vehicle Inspections in 2025, Emissions Tests Still Required in Some Areas

Starting January 1, 2025, Texas will no longer require annual vehicle safety inspections for noncommercial vehicles, though emissions testing will still be necessary in certain counties. The $7.50 inspection fee will be replaced by an 'inspection program replacement fee' during vehicle registration. New vehicles will pay a $16.75 fee covering two years. Commercial vehicles must still undergo safety inspections but are exempt from the replacement fee.

"Nationwide DMV Outage Disrupts License and ID Services"

The Department of Motor Vehicle offices nationwide experienced a network outage, prompting warnings to drivers with scheduled appointments. Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias advised drivers to call before visiting DMVs due to potential impacts on operating hours and services. The cause of the nationwide outage is unknown, and the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators has been contacted for comment. North Carolina's Department of Transportation reported that its databases have been repaired, allowing facilities to resume operations, making it the only state to have regained access to the system.

Denver City Services Cut Due to Decline in Immigration

Denver is making budget cuts to its Parks and Recreation Department and Department of Motor Vehicle services to save $5 million in order to fund the projected $180 million cost for sheltering migrants in 2024. The city is currently sheltering 3,560 migrants and has served 38,464 migrants since late 2022, with more arriving daily. The cuts include stopping in-person motor vehicle registrations, reducing recreation center hours, and pausing new permit applications. Mayor Mike Johnston emphasized the need for shared sacrifice and called for federal aid, which failed to materialize, leaving the city to bear the burden alone.
