Drivers in Texas will soon only be required to have one sticker on their vehicle windshield instead of two

As a result of a law passed in the 83rd legislative session, the state of Texas will stop issuing inspection stickers and move to a program that still requires inspection and registration but with only one sticker.

As of March 1 vehicles will not be issued an inspection sticker. Instead the registration sticker will serve as combined proof of registration and inspection, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety.

Drivers may renew their registration if their vehicle has a current inspection. However, if inspection and registration stickers both expire in the same month the vehicle will need to pass inspection before registration renewal.

Inspection fees will stay the same, and drivers will still have the option of renewing their registration online, in person or by mail.

According to the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles, the change to one sticker is to provide less clutter on the windshield, ensure drivers comply with safety and emissions requirements and eliminate inspection sticker fraud and theft.
