End to vehicle safety inspections raises concerns among Houston businesses, motorists
Larry Harris walks through the garage at Larry’s Auto Inspection on Tuesday, June 13, 2023 in Houston. Harris’ business, which has been in the auto repair and inspection business for more than 30 years, could be impacted when the state gets rid of vehicle inspections.Growing up, Larry Harris said, he knew he wanted to own his own business — and after a childhood of tinkering with cars, it felt natural to go into the automotive industry.
Proponents of the legislation, authored by state Rep. Cody Harris of Palestine, described the safety inspections as costly and unnecessary. Harris was bemused by that reasoning, as well as the prospect of safety inspections ending. In his experience, he explained, balding tires are the leading issue identified by state safety inspections — and a real safety issue, especially when it rains. Further, he added, HB 3297 would have a severe impact on inspection stations such as Harris's, which only perform inspections and perhaps sell the occasional light bulb or wiper blade.
As the lunch hour approached on Tuesday, and as the governor was sharpening his signing pen, a flurry of drivers arrived at Harris's shop.
