Motorists Doing Better Job Of Getting Vehicles Inspected
Col Homer Garrison Jr of the Texas DPS praises rising inspection compliance. About 250,000 more vehicles display the new sticker than last year, reducing wait times before the April 15 deadline. DPS trained garage mechanics in 1965 to inspect vehicles during repairs, boosting inspections to over four percent of last year’s pace. Texans are urged to get inspected soon at authorized stations with new standard signage visible at service entrances.
