How Psoriasis Qualifies You for a Tint Exemption
While some psoriasis patients benefit from controlled UV exposure, those with photosensitive psoriasis experience worsening symptoms from sunlight. A medical exemption in Texas is available for documented photosensitive psoriasis.
To qualify, you need to demonstrate that your Psoriasis makes it medically necessary for you to have darker window tint than what Texas law normally allows. Our licensed physicians review your existing documentation against state requirements — we do not diagnose. You must already have records from a primary care physician or eye care specialist confirming your condition.

Current Texas Tint Laws
Without a medical exemption, Texas law limits window tint to 25% VLT VLT on front side windows and Any darkness VLT on back side windows. Violations carry fines starting at $200 fine.
With an approved medical exemption for Psoriasis, you may be permitted to have darker window tint than these standard limits, providing the protection you need while staying legal.
