How far back for no emissions check at inspection?
20 or 25 years? Is that when you get classic plates.
I'm not thinking anything special, just wondering.

Here ya go... I pulled this info from the TX DPS website:
----------------------------------------
Which vehicles are required to have the emissions test?
1. Vehicles registered in designated county. Designated counties include:
Brazoria, Fort Bend, Galveston, Harris, Montgomery, Collin, Dallas, Denton, Ellis, Johnson, Kaufman, Parker, Rockwall, Tarrant, Travis, Williamson and El Paso counties.
2. Gasoline powered vehicles. Diesel powered vehicles and motorcycles are exempt from the emissions standards, but are still required to have the annual safety inspection.
3. Vehicles between 2 - 24 years old OR upon expiration of the 2 year initial inspection sticker
WooHoo! Only 9 more test left for me!
I only have 8 more!Quote:

BTW. When you get Antique Plates you also no longer have to get a safety inspection, and the Antique plates are valid for 5 years! ::Banana::
Right... but you can only drive the car for a certain distance per year...Quote:

No real mileage limitation on Antique Plates although I drove the 'lac less than 300 Miles last year. ;)Quote:

Vehicles displaying Antique plates may not be used for regular transportation or carry advertising; however, the vehicle may be driven to and from a location for routine maintenance.
I keep a set of plugs and some other maintenance items in the trunk just in case I happen to be taking it home to do maintenance! ::box::
Along with some bodies, I'm sure.Quote:

Now, did I also mention it has been sitting in my garage for the past 5 years being restored? It is a '61 Chevy Stepside Pickup w/ last year of wrap around windshield. 80% finished sans electrical and drive train. Also, did I mention IT IS FOR SALE.
