That's the way I understand it. Dallas, Tarrant, and all counties touching these.
Yeah, per the article:
Texans living in the most-populated counties will still have to appear annually for an emissions test. The 17 counties that require emissions inspections include those surrounding the major metro areas, other than San Antonio: Harris, Fort Bend, Brazoria, Montgomery, Galveston, Williamson, Travis, Dallas, Tarrant, Denton, Collin, Rockwall, Kaufman, Ellis, Johnson, Parker, and El Paso.
Either way, we'll still be paying $7.50 to SOMEbody.

emissions inspections are imo another huge waste of effort. but any time people of rockwall get inconvenienced...i secretly applaud
i grew up there in the 70s till early 80s
now its so overpopulated and filled with so many rude arrogant folks

You need to go to the DMV site and search for form VTR-269. Print it off, fill it out, and either mail it in or go to the tax office in person. We went today to the office on Polk Street in south Dallas around 1:00 and only had to wait about 10 minutes. We paid our money and got our new sticker.

The clerk tried to tell me I needed an inspection, but I told her to look on the form and it specified self inspection. She checked with her supervisor and all was good.

This is SO MUCH better than trying to get a 44 foot fifth wheel inspected at a gas station.

i have been declaring my bus is out of state for years...due to that exact issue
i go to the inspection place and joe the inspector checks the VIN and wipers and walks back inside
sort of weird so i quit doing it

first two years i had it the place wanted to drive it and test brakes (air) and i asked if inspection had class b license..no so they checked lights

seemed like a waste anyway. now the leos can get you for faulty gear.. and vehicle is "safe" all year vice 20 minutes at the inspection station

i do it all on line as well. have not been inside a dmv in long long time

about time
made no sense having vehicles with working lights, brakes and wipers once a year.
now the LEOs can do equipment violations, like lights etc

i was wondering if it was going to pass. one of the guys arguing against it , stated the shops in his district relied on the vehicle inspections to survive??
really 7.50 a vehicle wont pay the rent or insurance etc. most shops did it as a means for future repairs. on no inspection related items.
happy it passed,

for last 5 years i have not done one on my bus,
i do online registration and its OUT of state each time. supposed to catch them up when we come back....hmm ok its done

next we get rid of front plates.
