Texas is eliminating most vehicle safety inspections starting January 2025. This means that drivers in Texas will no longer be required to get their vehicles inspected every year. This change is expected to save drivers time and money.
The decision to eliminate vehicle safety inspections was made by the Texas Legislature in 2021. The law that eliminated the inspections was signed by Governor Greg Abbott in June 2021. The law goes into effect on January 1, 2025.
