My friend, we do not have enough safety inspections. I propose that we make a new law (punishable by fine, imprisonment and possibly death) that makes it so that an inspector enters your house, at an hour unknown to you, every day, and what he does is inspects your refrigerator to see if there is any bad food in it, he also makes sure that you have picked everything up, you know, anything that someone can trip on, and, of course, he must measure the height of your grass, that would be an eye sore to your neighbor and that may lead your neighbor to commit suicide or homicide. Granted, this is only the tip of the iceberg in regards to what ought to be inspected....all for safety, of course. And, since science has proven that the human body is designed for males to have sexual intercourse with males, we need a law that criminalizes those who think that that kind of sex is unsafe, evil et cetera. Also, maybe all your emails, snail mails, all your talks in your house should be inspected? All your thoughts via AI?

Never failed because TX inspections are a joke to begin with. Hint: when they don't put your car/truck on a lift, they aren't "inspecting" anything.

Safety will not be an issue by eliminating this useless process as the majority of inspection stations merely rush cars through only checking turn signals and lights and collecting money. I mentioned this to our Governor many times in the past. The state inspection is costing many Texans their valuable time as the modern cars of today are much safer built and do require more frequent trips to the repair garage for oil changes and maintenance required by many warranties. Oklahoma is doing just fine without this outdated process.

I see cars on the road all the time in TX that would be illegal as soon as they crossed the state line on the east coast. There, they check brake pads, exhaust system (leaks or too loud), tint levels, headlight alignment, tire age/wear, bumper height (lifted trucks), illegal rims with spikes sticking out, under mounted lights, and an entire list of other things that TX is just meh about.

I got my car right off of the truck. So maybe sticker wasn't changed yet the guy told me? No sure but I'm now trying to get reimbursed for that money. We will see what happens

I live in Minnesota. dont have any inspections. We had emissions inspection in the 90s when A Republican was Governor. However. It was a federal mandate. The smog reached a certain level.

The unsafe vehicles are on the road regardless, you just pay a bit of cash (anywhere from. $20 bucks to $100 dollars) and they'll pass you. This is like everywhere that isn't a big company. So yeah glad it's done and overnight also costs less to the consumer at $35 bucks a pop per year for inspection vs $7.50-$16.50 to the government. It's an improvement.

So you’re saying, because the state doesn’t enforce the law we should get rid of all laws that the state thousand and forth. In other states, if you try that and get caught you lose your license and you’re out of business.

Most every comment I have heard is about safety, but I was glad to see that Democrat state legislature point out small businesses are going to be hurt. You watch Texas will reinstate inspection but if Abbott is governor only corporation will be allowed to inspect.

Gee, what could go wrong?

Bad news. There are already unsafe vehicles driving around, this will increase that tremendously. 🤬

So what’s the point? The tires can be bald and the ball joints and tie-rods are ready to let go, the brake lights don’t need to work, but I’ll dammed, your car better pass the emissions test! When discerning whether or not a vehicle is road worthy, an emissions test is the least of the problem!

( it should be optional up the driver, try it for at least 2 years, and see what happens!)

The texas inspection is ridiculous anyway. All they check is lights, wipers,horn,tires,and brakes period. But i think is something better than nothing i think this would be a mistake and the cost is minimum is only 7 dollars. And they are never any lines thats a lie its an all year process. Lets keep our roads safe pleased let the people vote on it not the governor

Thank God.

I agree it’s a waste of money and time

we need registration for useful life of vehicles like 4-5 years or 10 years and lay all at once not annually reregister this is a nightmare when you have more than one car…

Once again Abbott is screwing up not doing the job I voted for

End Auto Inspections Nationwide!

Houston too???

News flash, safety inspections stopped after emission inspections started. I never had any station check anything but emissions after that crap began.

Sure soon junk cars will be on the road, bold tires & bad brakes etc as we see here in Florida. As soon as we have a dry winter the oil on the road turns slick in rainy season accidents increase. Just wait.

Safety what about the speeding and reckless drivers zoom zoom zoom that’s a danger

Lessee, amend the law to throw out Harris County election results to include any county that still requires annual vehicle emissions tests. And find a way to make the $7.50 fee a poll tax.

No. 1 cause of vehicle injuries is bad/drunk/teen drivers.

Are other states going to offer reciprocity to Texas drivers?

In the 90s people were just fine and less problems. Also insurance wasent required or ticketed for no insurance.

Wtf you always needed insurance to drive in every state for along time. Some states differ when it’s for motorcycles some still don’t need insurance. And you should want to have insurance it’s to protect yourself not others.

@@Thumper68 Some of us drove for decades with no insurance, and insurance was dirt cheap then. Imagine a government mandated service going up in cost exponentially. Who could have known.

does he really think doing all of this will make him popular when he runs for president?

WTF! No thanks- there is going to be a lot of crappy dangerous cars in the road now.

the only stations that actually check things on your car are the ones that hope to gouge you out of a few bucks. even today if you buy your license online you have the option of checking a box that says your vehicle is out of state and exempts you from the inspection. and they never check to make sure you don't lie

If you get pulled over youll get a ticket for not having your car properly registered in the state.

why waste time with a driver's test just pay $20 and any 13yr old can drive any no proven safe vehicle

Fix the damn roads. Pot hole city here in Massachusetts. It's awful.

Mobility Fund? Who's mobility fund?

Wish wv would end our inspections big pain in the rear

I think the best way to answer this is to do an accident number comparison between Texas and States that currently don't have any type of vehicle inspections.

Money should be returned to the people of Texas, so what it hurts small businesses

Texas is a wonderful place because Joe Rogan said so.

I love Gov. Abbott, but this is stupid.

Do what I did move out of Harris County!

How about the rip off f customers that go in for a inspection

So many Junk cars on the road this is crazy

People out here with bald tires, then they slide on something and into you and kill you.

That’s dangerous, but go ahead Texas.

I lived in Florida for ten years. There is no requirement for annual vehicle inspections there either. The only thing due each year is registration. Never once was there an issue because there are no annual inspections.

so if the federal govermnet ended this,,than it should not be,,,,,

It not going to be any less safer. Its aways been about the money.

The only regulation is every vehicle will be required to have both a bible and a gun (pistol). The pistol will be loaded with the hammer back just in case. When parked in a school zone the car must remain unlocked so children have free access to the gun in case a bad guy with a gun needs to be stopped by a child with a gun. All schools will be required to let children know they are responsible for their own safety during a school shooting. The state will no longer be required to respond to school shootings unless a person of color is involved. Any parent attempting to shield their child from gunfire or save their child during a school shooting will be subject to arrest. God blest (sic).
