The Texas legislature is on the verge of eliminating vehicle safety inspections, but fees would remain
“An unsafe vehicle is not only unsafe to the owner of that car and the other occupants, it's unsafe to everybody else on the road”, said Greg Cole who heads the Texas Vehicle Inspection Association, which represents state-licensed shops and inspector statewide.
That fraud infuriates legitimate shop owners and leaves some wondering if the effectiveness of inspections has been undercut by cheating.The Texas Department of Public Safety has vowed to crack down on fake inspections in the wake of the NBC 5 investigation. “Until you give me the solution of how to get rid of the fraud and abuse that is rampant across the state with fake inspections, then my opinion is the why do we have the inspections at all,” Rep. Goldman said in that April interview.
Even if the inspections go away, the state will still get your money. The current bill would simply convert the $7.50 inspection fee the state collects to a new charge you would pay when you register your car.
