Hello all,

I'll be moving to College Station in a couple months and was wondering if anyone knew how inspections were. Do they do an OBD check? I know in San Antonio they didn't, and it was just the basics. I'm sc'd with a vortech blower and aem ems. Thanks!

College station is not in an emission county according to https://www.tceq.texas.gov/airqualit.../overview.html


however, you will need to have a functioning OBD2 port to pass safety.

Thanks. I was set on upgrading to the aem infinity, however this information does change things a bit. The megasquirt preserves OBD, but I really wanted the infinity's motor protections. I wonder how difficult it is to find a friendly gas station. Also, strange San Antonio hasn't started ODB checking considering how large a city it is now.

Good news for you

State Senate votes to end vehicle inspections - San Antonio Express-News

"By a vote of 27-4, after lengthy debate, lawmakers approved Senate Bill 1588 that would drop the current mandate that all personal vehicles undergo annual state safety inspections."

"Changes take effect March 2018"

Unless I'm mistaken, that vote lifts the vehicle safety inspection not the emission inspection.

you are correct. 17 counties will still require emissions testing.
