Beginning March 1, 2015, the state will no longer issue vehicle inspection stickers and will move to a \u201cTwo Steps, One Sticker\u201d program. Under the new system, Texas vehicle owners will still need to pass inspection prior to renewing their registration, however Vehicle lnspection Stations will no longer issue an inspection sticker. The familiar blue-bordered Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV) registration sticker will serve as proof of both inspection and registration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCameron County is prepared to make this transition as smooth as possible for our residents,\u201d said Cameron County Tax Assessor-Collector Tony Yzaguirre Jr. \u201cDuring the first year of the program beginning March 1, 2015, all you will need to do is make sure you already have a valid passing vehicle inspection before you renew your registration in our office, online or by mail.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ywo1TQOp3kk\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>When vehicle owners renew their registration, the system will automatically verify whether the vehicle has a valid inspection. Without a passing inspection, the vehicle will not be eligible for registration renewal. \u201cIt would be a good idea for drivers to keep their vehicle inspections receipts with their proof of insurance, at least during the initial cycle,\u201d added Yzaguirre. During the second year of the program, beginning March 1, 2016, vehicles\u2019 inspection and registration expiration dates will align to the date that is on the registration sticker. Once the expiration dates are aligned in that second year, you will have a convenient 90-day window to pass inspection first and then renew your registration before the end of the month listed on your sticker.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen the \u201cTwo Steps, One Sticker\u201d program is fully implemented, Cameron County residents will appreciate having just one sticker in the corner of their windshield and only one expiration date to worry about,\u201d said Tony Yzaguirre \u2013 Tax Assessor-Collector. \u201cAnd because a passing vehicle inspection will be a requirement to renew your registration, more vehicle owners will comply with inspection requirements leading to safer and more environmentally sound cars on Texas roads.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The implementation of \u201cTwo Steps, One Sticker\u201d is a result of House Bill 2305 which passed during the 83\u201d Legislative Session in 2013. The program is joint effort by the TxDMV, the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) and the Texas Commission on Environmental Ouality, in collaboration with the 254 county tax assessor-collector\u2019s offices which process vehicle registrations and vehicle inspection stations across the state.
