Parker County requires an emissions test before registration

Parker County is in the Dallas-Fort Worth emissions program. TCEQ says gas vehicles that are 2 through 24 model years old get an emissions test each year.

Pass the test before you renew the registration. TCEQ says electric vehicles, diesel vehicles, motorcycles, and mopeds do not need this emissions test.

Leave time for repairs before the renewal date. Use the DPS station locator if you need a certified test site. If emissions blocks renewal, TCEQ lists a help line at 1-888-295-0141.
