We are doing periodic patrols throughout the subdivision looking for any vehicles with expired Inspection or Registration. The following comes from the TxDPS website: (emphasis added)
New Timelines for Inspections
Prior to Feb, 29, 2016, you must have a passing vehicle inspection at the time you register or renew your vehicle’s registration.
If your inspection expires before your registration, you are required to get your vehicle inspected before the inspection expiration date.
After March 1, 2016, you must pass a vehicle inspection within 90 calendar days prior to registration or renewing your vehicle.
The towing company tells me they have to give someone 10 days after tagging their vehicle for expired stickers, according to State law. However, if we tag your vehicle or call it in, there is no 10 day grace period, primarily due to the fact that the Visitor Lots are located on private property. Secondarily, we have Parking rules in place that do not allow any vehicle with expired registration (tags) or inspection to park in these visitor lots, so we are towing these expired vehicles off the property.
Each Visitor Lot is well-marked with signs, so it’s not like people have not been warned.
