Texas Governor Signs Bills to Eliminate Vehicle Inspections and Ban Paper License Plates

Governor Greg Abbott has signed a bill that eliminates annual vehicle inspections in Texas, but 17 counties will still require annual emissions tests. The $7.50 fee will still exist, but under a new name, and new cars or vehicles that had not previously been registered in Texas or another state will have an initial fee of $16.75. The money will go toward the Texas mobility fund, general revenue fund, and the clean air account. The new legislation will go into effect on Jan. 1, 2025.

"Upcoming Changes to Texas Car Safety Inspections in 2025"

Texas drivers will no longer be required to have their cars pass an annual safety exam after state lawmakers removed the rule from Texas code. The Legislature repealed provisions in state law that mandate annual vehicle inspections. However, the $7.50 fee remains intact under a new name: the inspection program replacement fee. The 17 Texas counties that require emissions inspections will still mandate annual tests regardless of the bill becoming law.
