Emissions Test in Houston — Drive In, Stay in Your Car, Done in Under 10 Minutes

Harris County still requires an annual emissions test to renew your registration. At Mr Sticker, two OBD machines run side by side, so two vehicles are tested at the same time. You stay with your car the whole time — no drop-off, no keys handed over.

How It Works

  1. Pull into the drive-through lane

    Stay in the driver's seat. There's no drop-off and no waiting room shuffle.

  2. We test two cars at once

    Two OBD machines and two certified testers work side by side.

  3. Get your report and go

    We hand you the Vehicle Inspection Report (VIR). Most drivers are back on the road in under 10 minutes.

  4. Renew your registration

    Renew online, at a partner store, at the county tax office or by mail. See your options on our homepage.

Common Questions

Do I still need a safety inspection in Texas?

No. Texas eliminated the safety inspection for most passenger vehicles, but Harris County still requires an annual emissions test to renew your registration.

How long does the emissions test take?

Most vehicles are in and out in under 10 minutes. We run two OBD machines at the same time, so the line moves fast.

How much does an emissions test cost?

$18.50. Veterans and military get $5 off with valid ID.

Do I need an appointment?

No — walk-ins are welcome seven days a week. You can also request a time online with no phone call needed.

Do I have to leave my car?

No. You stay with your car the whole time. There's no drop-off and you don't hand over your keys.

What do I do after I pass?

Keep the Vehicle Inspection Report (VIR) in your glovebox, then renew your registration online at Texas.gov, at a partner grocery store, at the county tax office or by mail.
