Two Million Cars To Be Inspected By April Deadline
Col Homes Garrison Jr director of the Texas Department of Public Safety said over two million motor vehicles remain to be inspected before the April 15 deadline. He urged Texas motorists to obtain new inspection stickers early as more than 4,300,900 will be inspected this year. Only about half that number have gone through lines at about 4400 stations so far.
