Re: texas squares
I didn't think it was required by law to have them in Texas.

Print out this page and keep it in the truck.

Re: texas squares
same here.
Houston, Tx. Never a mention of it being an issue in over 8 years. Safety inspected every year. From my recollection of being a tx vehicle safety inspector, the vehicle must have a rear viewing device... the normal windshield mounted rvm is enough. |
Re: texas squares
Texas state inspection only requires one mirror. if you have a rearview mirror then you are good. If you have tinted windows then it will give them a reason to pull you over, they can state they didn't see the rearview.
That's what my inspection guy told me and i verified it by checking the state vehicle inspection requirements online. You can check the link here http://www.txdps.state.tx.us/vi/publ...l/chapter4.htm |
more info from the horses mouth...
got curious. your inside mirror is sufficient if it meets criteria.
you can find the rules here: http://www.txdps.state.tx.us/vi/insp.../item_insp.asp some tasty excerpts: 20.19 Mirror. Every motor vehicle shall be equipped with a mirror so located as to reflect to the driver a view of the highway for a distance of at least 200 feet to the rear of such motor vehicle. 2. Inspect for and reject if: b. Vehicle is not equipped with at least one mirror. NOTE: An inside mirror would meet all the above requirements. If the vehicle is equipped with more than one mirror, only one, either inside or outside, needs to meet all requirements. |

Re: texas squares
Ha... but you beat me to the punch by a minute, I see, Outlaw!

Re: texas squares
Dang thanks for the info guys!

Re: texas squares
You have to have a mirror that allows you to see 200 feet behind you. If your back window is blocked then you must have an outside mirror.

Re: texas squares
I wonder, and I understand the one mirror facing rearward thing.....Could removing mirrors be considered altering safety equipment? Altering or removing safety equipment is not legal. So i wonder if they'd have a leg to stad on if they chose to hit you with a ticket on this?
Myself, I like mirrors. But I could also understand someone who might want to shave them. |
