Texas Guys a heads up.. DPS/Trailer Inspections

[Dave S]

I always shred my receipts along with my other old papers. I was told that I did not need to keep my receipt for my trailer, they said that is what the licens eplate is for. But this was from my old I/O boat dealer, not the Tige.

where's the video on that one?

This was in the '60s. There were no easily available video cameras.

I found this out when I went to register the trailer. We bought the boat and trailer from out of state and registering the boat was fairly easy (after two trips because I needed some more information)but the trailer is a complete different story.

When we went to get it registered at the DPS, they told us we needed to get it inspected first. Fine, no problem, only they could not tell me where to go and get it inspected. Since then, I have asked around at some trailer places and no one seems to know where I can go to get it inspected.

The link that was posted by chane is for your typical car emissions inspection not a tralier inspection. If anyone knows where I can go in the Houston area to get it inspected, please let me know. Until then, the trailer sits with it's Oregen license plate.

Well I spoke to the JP and she is going let me off with a $20 court fee and proof I spent the $14.50 for the sticker.

Here it is:

What a load of CRAP. The registration receipt says on it "this receipt must be kept in all COMMERCIAL VEHICLES".

Son of a .... wish I saw this before I tried to register my trailer. Smucks. They're also making registering the boat a royal PITA!

On this topic...as mine is coming from out of state I need to get the damn thing weighed...anyone know where I can do that around Austin?
