Bellville, TX – Austin County Tax Assessor-Collector Marcus A. Peña wishes to inform our motorist of the Texas “One Sticker Program” set for March 1, 2015.
In our effort to keep our public aware of the ever changing laws in our transportation code, we wish to pass along information from the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles.
Please read the information on the Texas “One Sticker Program”
Two Steps, One Sticker
Beginning March 1, 2015, the State will stop issuing vehicle inspection stickers. After this, in order to register your vehicle, you will be required to pass a vehicle inspection not more than 90 days prior to the date your registration expires. After passing an inspection, the inspection station will update your electronic inspection record with the results and issue you a paper vehicle inspection report. When you go to register your vehicle, your inspection will be verified electronically to determine if your vehicle is eligible for registration at that time. Transitioning to this new process will require every vehicle’s inspection and registration to expire at the same time. In order to do this in the first year you will be allowed to register your vehicle if your vehicle inspection is valid the day you register. TxDMV is working with DPS and TCEQ on the implementation of this program, and once program details are finalized, that information will be made available to the public. At this time, additional information about the program can be found on the TxDMV website at www.txdmv.gov. Simply select the “Two Steps, One Sticker” heading from the Motorists tab at the top of the homepage to access the content.
