Guys not in the know, the fake/counterfeit stickers are VERY common in the emissions required counties. (Brazoria, Collin, Dallas, Denton, Ellis, El Paso, Fort Bend, Galveston, Harris, Johnson, Kaufman, Montgomery, Parker, Rockwall, Tarrant, Travis and Williamson).
Everywhere else they are practically non-existant. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quote History Quoted:

All the inspection data is electronically tied to your registration. I don't see how it would effect longer term registrations. When an Officer runs your plate it will shw on the computer whether or not you are up to date on your inspection. If your registration is paid up for 3 years but you don't get your inspection the second year you would just get the ticket for no inspection like you did in the past. The state is just saving a ton of money not printing them and avoiding all of the inspection sticker fraud/counterfeiting which is a huge business.
I really don't see how going to a one sticker system will change this. All the info goes into a computer which gets uploaded to the state on every inspection anyway. From what I understand the registration is just going to read off of this anyway so the inspector will still be able to enter a failing car as a pass the same way they do now.
That is true. The main problem was people making fake stickers and selling them to completely bypass the entire process.
There was a recent bust here for fake inspection stickers. The suspects were all Mexican cartel, two wanted for murder. They were allegedly clearing 40k a month in fake stickers. The problem is much bigger than most people know.
Who are their customers? What percentage of fake inspection stickers do you think are in use in Texas?

I was going to say, I didn't know it really was a problem. Of course I live in small town East Texas and avoid those counties like the plague anyway. I didn't even know this new rule came out until I read it on here. Still not 100%sure what's going on.
