@ksatnews: Starting Nov. 1, Bexar County drivers will have to pass a vehicle emissions test to renew their Texas registration, a change that affects roughly 1.3 million registered vehicle owners. Local repair shops say they're moving forward as scheduled, and drivers with older cars are already bracing for repair bills in the thousands. One 75-year-old San Antonio driver told KSAT she's saving up for an estimated $5,500 in fixes because a new car note is out of the question. Two San Antonio-area elected leaders are trying to block or pause the requirement, but so far no state or federal agency has announced a delay. See the full report on ksat.com.

You’re talking about replacing multiple catalytic converders , oxygen sensor I replaced mine and still have the alarm. It cost me close to $1k and I installed the sensors myself. We are screwed. Can you register vehicles outside Bexar county ?

ppl just wont register there vehicles which will drop in how much money they earn from registering, but than will make cops more strict abt ppl on there registrations, causing tickets, but its weird bc ppl cant afford gas, food or bills bc of the economy but they expect ppl to fix there cars to pass emissions or pay a ticket. So its a mess rn honestly

I’m confused, wasn’t this in all annual inspections anyway? And Texas just got rid of annual inspections right? So they’re just bringing back one part of it?

This is a scam for shops to make money a lot of these cars can’t be fixed or need thousands to fix them car manufacturers should be responsible for these issues not passed to the consumer,capitalism at its best.

So, city leaders want to keep these gas-guzzling, smoke-emitting dirty-ass cars on the road. Gotcha. But they’re all cool with raising our taxes.

my registration is due in dec. im so glad San Antonio let me renew my registration 3 months early so I can avoid this until next year. I highly suggest renewing early to avoid this, esp if you have pending repairs
