ok i was wrong. i have been a police officer for 11 years and didnt know this. if you move to texas you have to re-inspect it in texas prior to registration. if you are a texas resident and buy a vehicle out of state, e.i. shreveport, and that state issues an inspection sticker, you dont have to re-inspect it until that inspection sticker expires. makes no since, but this is the government.
I live in texas and bought a truck in texarkana... i had to have it re-inspected in texas before i could have it registered, even though it was still current in LA...
