If you dont pass smog, you dont get to register your vehicle.
We too have emissions testing yearly in large counties such as Tarrant(Ft Worth), and Dallas, and all counties that touch those. I'm in one of the emissions counties and a yearly safety/emissions inspection is $39.

We pay ~$65 a year for a personal auto, doesn't matter if it's a Geo Metro, or a King Ranch F350.

Funny thing is, this past year they did away with having an actual inspection sticker on the windshield and just tied it in with your registration. You can't register without a valid inspection. This saves the state the money of the inspection stickers and booklets, but none of that cost is passed on to the taxpayers.

Still not sure why we have a safety inspection with all the crap I see on the roads daily.
