CA to TX ...
Hi,
I'll be moving from N. California to Texas (Dallas) in a couple of months. My Explorer is registered in CA and I will be taking it with me (All expenses paid by company so no worry there :-) ).
I know that they have safety inspections in TX. Can anyone give me a rough idea what to expect ?
Does anyone see any problems with taking the truck to TX and registering it there ?
Can I expect any drop in value ?
Any thoughts appriciated.
Thanks,
Zoti

Hmm... my last inspection went as follows:
drive into inspection bay
honk horn
left turn signal
right turn signal
brake
(check license plate light)
low beams
high beams
12.50$ please (actually I think its 13 something now)
But this is in small town texas; houston has emissions and I thought dallas did. But I don't live there...

Here is a link to a state site that details the inspection process and the items checked for any class of vehicle you can imagine.
http://www.txdps.state.tx.us/vi/Misc/rerf/obd_faq.htm
If you know the zip code of where you will be relocating to, you can see if a smog emissions test is required in that area also.
One thing other posters left out was to mention that you must show proof of liability insurance to get a state inspection or license plates.
And by the way, welcome to Texas
