Two new vehicle laws will go into effect in Texas in 2025. The first law will eliminate the requirement for most vehicle safety inspections. Some non-commercial vehicles will still be required to have emissions testing, depending on where the owner lives. All commercial vehicles will still have to undergo safety inspections. That law goes into effect on New Year’s Day.
The second new law requires all licensed auto dealers in the state to the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles webDEALER system to electronically process the title and registration for the sale of vehicles. That law will go into effect on July first. Training for dealers will be offered before the requirement goes into effect.
