Texas Window TintMedical Exemption

Texas no longer requires most non-commercial vehicles to receive an annual safety inspection, but window-tint limits and roadside enforcement still apply. Current DPS guidance describes a signed medical statement for a medical exception; the statement does not make every tint installation lawful or guarantee an enforcement outcome.

Texas Inspection Changes & Tint Compliance

Texas ended most non-commercial safety inspections on January 1, 2025. Window-tint laws and roadside enforcement still apply. Commercial vehicles and vehicles in emissions-testing counties have separate requirements.

Medical documentation does not automatically resolve a citation or establish that any particular tint is lawful. Confirm current Texas DPS guidance and vehicle-specific requirements.

Why Texas Drivers Face Double Jeopardy Without an Exemption

Texas is unique: illegal tint can cost you at both traffic stops and other current compliance requirements. Combined with extreme heat and UV across the state, the demand for medical exemptions is among the highest in the country.

2025 Change

Most Safety Inspections Ended

Most non-commercial safety inspections ended January 1, 2025. Tint rules and roadside enforcement remain in effect; commercial and emissions requirements are separate.

Up to $500

Class C Misdemeanor

Unlike most states where tint is just a fix-it ticket, Texas classifies tint violations as a Class C misdemeanor with fines up to $500 plus court costs — and it goes on your driving record.

UV Index 10-12

Extreme Texas UV

El Paso sees 297 sunny days and UV index 11-12. Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, and Austin all reach UV 10-11 during peak months. Texas drivers log more UV-exposed driving hours than nearly any other state.

MD Anderson

World-Class Cancer Care

Houston's MD Anderson Cancer Center is the world's leading cancer hospital. Texas has massive populations of melanoma survivors and patients who need UV protection while driving.

Texas Window Tint Law Limits

Under Texas Transportation Code §547.613, Texas sets a 25% VLT minimum on front side windows but allows any darkness on rear windows. This split means many drivers tint their rears dark but need an exemption for matching front windows.

Important: Texas ended most non-commercial safety inspections in 2025, but window-tint law and roadside enforcement remain in effect.

Front Windshield

25% VLT, non-reflective tint only above AS-1 line

Front Side Windows

25% VLT minimum — the window that requires an exemption

Back Side Windows

Any darkness permitted (no exemption needed)

Rear Window

Any darkness permitted (no exemption needed)

Medical Exemption

Available under §547.613(e) — allows darker front tint with physician certification

Medical Conditions That Likely Qualify in Texas

Texas's intense heat and UV exposure worsen many photosensitive conditions. The conditions below are commonly associated with tint exemption approvals under Texas law. You will need existing documentation from your treating physician.

Understanding Texas Transportation Code

When clinical review is applicable, an independent, appropriately licensed clinician makes the individual decision. Any signed medical statement must be evaluated under current Texas requirements. See Texas Transportation Code §547.613. Applicants should verify current requirements with Texas DPS, Texas State Troopers, all local law enforcement agencies, and Texas DPS window-tint guidance.

Texas DPS says it no longer issues a separate window-tint exemption certificate. Current guidance describes a qualifying signed medical statement; confirm its required contents and keep it available as directed.
