Texas State Inspection Practice

If a vehicle's odometer is not functioning, the inspection can still proceed if all other inspection requirements are met. This means that even though the odometer reading cannot be taken into account, the vehicle can still be examined for safety and emissions compliance as long as it meets the other criteria set forth for inspection.

It’s important to note that while the odometer provides valuable information about vehicle usage and potential wear, the inspection process heavily focuses on whether the vehicle is compliant with state safety and emissions standards. As long as the vehicle's mechanical components are functioning correctly and it meets the guidelines of the inspection, it can be processed without the odometer's input, allowing the driver to ensure compliance without unnecessary delays.
