If your Texas vehicle registration expires in October 2021, this may be your last chance to renew your registration and comply with local law.
Prior to renewal, a passing vehicle inspection is necessary. A passing inspection must be acquired on or after August 3, 2021, for registration renewal due in October 2021.
