Hello ya'll,
I have been following the Texas inspection/registration information on several forums. Quite interesting. Here is my recent story, see how it figures in or not.
About the 1st of June I registered the MH on-line for 1 year. Inspection is May, registration expiration is August. One can register 90 days early. A week later I registered the wife's car, and the TOAD. For the wife's car it was a 1 year registration amd the inspection sticker expires 12/14 and registration expired 7/14. The TOAD I registered for 3 years and it had an registration expiration of 8/14 but the inspection sticker doesn't expire intil 5/15. Now I have a registration sticker for the TOAD that expires 8/17.
When I called the local DMV earlier this year, they did not know a thing about the inspection/registration law change. When I called Austin, the nice lady there was knowledgeable and stated when the law would go into effect.
I'm wondering how this is all going to be applied to those who register their vehciles for 3 years with 1 year inspection requirments and new cars typically have an inspection sticker that is good for two years.
They must have a good computer system ready to go into effect. Take the wife's car. Registration is now good until 8/15, however the inspection expires 12/14. What is to say that anyone can skip 3 months or more without an inspection.
Time will tell. It's going to be interesting.
