  TITLE 37. PUBLIC SAFETY AND CORRECTIONS 
 Part I. Texas Department of Public Safety 
  Chapter 23. Vehicle Inspection 
  
  Parameter Vehicle Emission Inspection and Maintenance Program 
 
  37 TAC sec.23.91, sec.23.92 
 
  The Texas Department of Public Safety adopts on an emergency basis new 
sec.23.91 and sec.23.92, concerning Parameter Motor Vehicle Emission Inspection 
and Maintenance Program. The adoptions are necessary to implement the provisions 
of Senate Bill 178, 74th Legislature, 1995, which requires the Texas Department 
of Public Safety to establish a parameter motor vehicle emission inspection and 
maintenance program effective June 1, 1995. 
 Section 23.91 establishes a parameter motor vehicle emission inspection and 
maintenance program for vehicles registered in Collin, Dallas, Denton, Harris, 
El Paso, and Tarrant Counties, because such counties do not meet national 
ambient air quality standards for ozone. The program will be designated to 
facilitate these counties compliance with the Federal Clean Air Act. Section 
23.91 would require inspection of 1968 through 1979 model vehicles for 
thermostatic air intake system, exhaust gas recirculation system (EGR valve), 
PCV valves and hoses, air injection system, and evaporative emission system 
(canister). Beginning with the 1980 year model, vehicles would be inspected for 
the presence of catalysts and choke systems. In addition, 1984 and later year 
model passenger cars and light-duty trucks would be inspected for misfire, 
oxygen sensor and valves, emission-related recall, and emission-related 
maintenance. 
 Section 23.92 establishes an Idle Emissions Inspection and Maintenance Program 
for vehicles registered in Dallas, Tarrant, and El Paso Counties in order to 
reduce carbon monoxide emissions from automobiles, because these counties do not 
meet national ambient air quality standards. The program will be designed to 
facilitate the compliance of these counties with the Federal Clean Air Act. This 
rule will require inspection of 1975 and newer model year passenger cars and 
light-duty trucks for excessive carbon monoxide emissions in addition to those 
items of inspection required in sec.23.91. The idle emissions inspection will be 
accomplished by use of a four-gas analyzer. An additional vehicle inspection fee 
is proposed and will be retained by the vehicle inspection station. 
 The rules are adopted on an emergency basis under the Health and Safety Code, 
sec.382.0371 and sec.382.038, and Texas Civil Statutes, Article 6701d, 
sec.sec.140-142 which provides the Public Safety Commission with the authority 
to establish any motor vehicle emissions inspection and maintenance program 
required by federal law or by a rule or order adopted under federal law. See 
also Attorney General Opinion JM-138, dated March 16, 1984. 
 
 
  sec.23.91 Parameter Vehicle Emission Inspection and Maintenance Program. 
 
  (a) All 1968 and newer year model passenger cars and light-duty trucks 
registered in any designated county or presented for inspection in any 
designated county must be inspected, as part of, and at the time of, the 
required annual vehicle inspection, under the Parameter Vehicle Emission 
Inspection and Maintenance Program and the rules of the department applicable to 
the particular year model. Provided, that a vehicle is not subject to an initial 
parameter vehicle emission inspection until after the date of the second 
anniversary of the vehicle's first sale. On vehicles originally sold and 
registered in Texas, it will be presumed that the date of the second anniversary 
of the vehicle's first sale will be upon the expiration of the two year safety 
inspection certificate unless the person seeking the safety inspection presents 
appropriate proof otherwise. On all vehicles that do not have a two year safety 
certificate it will be presumed that the date of the second anniversary of the 
vehicle's first sale will be the last day of September of the year model of the 
vehicle, unless the person seeking the safety inspection certificate presents 
appropriate proof otherwise. Appropriate proof will be in the form of any one of 
the following documents that include the date of the first sale: a bill of sale; 
a retail installment contract; the manufacturer's statement of origin; a 
purchase agreement; an extended warranty contract; or the first issued 
registration receipt. After the date of the second anniversary of the vehicle's 
first sale a vehicle may not be issued an annual safety inspection certificate 
until the vehicle has passed the appropriate vehicle emissions inspection 
required for that vehicle. A person seeking a safety inspection certificate may 
present appropriate proof in a form approved by the department that the vehicle 
has passed the vehicle emissions inspection required for that vehicle. The 
following vehicles are exempt from all vehicle emission inspection requirements: 
 
  (1) a vehicle registered as an antique motor vehicle under Texas Civil 
Statutes, Article 6675a-5a; 
   
  (2) a vehicle registered as a classic motor vehicle under Texas Civil 
Statutes, Article 6675a-5n,; 
   
  (3) a vehicle required to display a slow-moving emblem by Texas Civil 
Statutes, Article 6701-d, sec.139B; or 
   
  (4) a circus vehicle that is registered to an entity engaged in the business 
of a commercial variety show featuring animal acts for public entertainment, and 
which is licensed by the Texas Board of Health under Chapter 824 of the Health 
and Safety Code. 
     
  (b) Certified inspectors that have completed the training for the Parameter 
Vehicle Emission Inspection and Maintenance Program in designated counties must 
perform the parameter vehicle emission inspection and maintenance inspection on 
all 1968 and later model year passenger cars and light-duty trucks presented for 
inspection. For the purpose of the Parameter Vehicle Emission Inspection and 
Maintenance Program described in this section, the term "designated counties" 
shall mean the counties of Collin, Dallas, Denton, El Paso, Harris, and Tarrant. 
Vehicle emission inspections shall be conducted only in certified Official Texas 
Vehicle Inspection Stations. 
   
  (c) Certified inspectors in all counties other than designated counties must 
perform the parameter vehicle emission inspection and maintenance inspection on 
all 1968 and later model year passenger cars and light-duty trucks presented for 
inspection which are currently registered and operated in designated counties, 
provided that the certified inspectors have completed the training for the 
Parameter Vehicle Emission Inspection and Maintenance Program and hold the 
department's current inspector's certificate for such training. 
   
  (d) In order to determine whether a vehicle is currently registered in a 
designated county, registration will be verified. Vehicles registered in 
designated counties will be identified by a distinguishing validation sticker as 
determined by the Texas Department of Transportation. Certified inspectors in 
the counties named in subsection (b) of this section and certified inspectors in 
counties adjoining designated counties will verify the registration validation 
stickers of each 1968 or later model year passenger car or light-duty truck 
presented for inspection. 
   
  (e) Except for those vehicles registered in designated counties which must 
also be inspected under the Vehicle Idle Emissions Inspection and Maintenance 
Program, in accordance with sec.23.92 of this title (relating to Vehicle Idle 
Emissions Inspection and Maintenance Program), vehicles having been inspected 
under the Parameter Vehicle Emission Inspection and Maintenance Program and 
found to have met the requirements of such program in addition to all other 
vehicle inspection requirements will be approved by the certified inspector, who 
will thereafter affix to the windshield an inspection certificate with a blue 
numeral insert designating the month in which the vehicle was inspected. The 
only valid inspection certificate for vehicles subject to the Parameter Vehicle 
Emission Inspection and Maintenance Program shall be an inspection certificate 
with the appropriate and currently effective blue numeral insert, except that 
vehicles registered in counties designated in sec.23.92 of this title (relating 
to the Vehicle Idle Emissions Inspection and Maintenance Program) shall bear an 
inspection certificate with a green numeral insert. 
   
  (f) Provided, that a vehicle which is registered in a designated county and 
which is otherwise subject to the Parameter Vehicle Emission Inspection and 
Maintenance Program need not display an inspection certificate with a blue or 
green numeral insert if: 
 
  (1) the vehicle is owned by a person (or persons) who does not reside within 
any of the territorial boundaries of a designated county; and 
   
  (2) the vehicle is operated within the territorial boundaries of designated 
counties on not more than 15 days per calendar year. 
     
  (g) If a person claiming to be covered by subsection (f) of this section is 
prosecuted for operating a vehicle on the highways in a designated county 
without displaying a valid inspection certificate, the defendant must prove by a 
preponderance of the evidence that the circumstances, as provided in subsection 
(f)(1) and (2) of this section, exist. 
   
  (h) Only those certified inspectors who have successfully completed the 
training and testing for the Parameter Vehicle Emission Inspection and 
Maintenance Program and who have received certification for such training and 
testing may perform the parameter vehicle emission inspection and maintenance 
inspections. 
   
  (i) Certified inspectors in any designated county in the state who have been 
certified to perform the parameter vehicle emission inspection and maintenance 
inspections shall accurately complete forms provided by the department. 
   
  (j) For purposes of the Parameter Vehicle Emission Inspection and Maintenance 
Program, the term "passenger car" shall have the meaning ascribed to it by Texas 
Civil Statutes, Article 6701d, sec.2(j), except that motor vehicles powered by 
diesel fuel or any fuel other than gasoline or gasohol are not included in the 
meaning of the term "passenger car" if their design precludes the use of 
gasoline or gasohol without modification. 
   
  (k) For purposes of the Parameter Vehicle Emission Inspection and Maintenance 
Program, the term "light-duty truck" means a motor vehicle with a manufacturer's 
gross weight of 8,500 pounds or less, which shall include but not be limited to, 
pickup trucks, panel delivery trucks, and carry-all trucks, except that motor 
vehicles powered by diesel fuel or any fuel other than gasoline or gasohol are 
not included in the meaning of the term "light-duty truck" if their design 
precludes the use of gasoline or gasohol without modification. 
   
  (l) Specific inspection requirements for passenger cars and light-duty trucks 
in the Parameter Vehicle Emission Inspection and Maintenance Program are as
