How Much Does a Tint Exemption Cost in Texas?
A clear breakdown of what you'll pay for a Texas window tint medical exemption — no hidden fees, no surprises.
Are There Any Hidden Fees?
No. The $250 covers everything: physician review, signed medical statement, and support. There are no additional charges, no subscriptions, and no surprise costs at checkout.
Cost Comparison: Exemption vs. Texas Tint Penalties
Compare the service fee separately from possible citation, court, installation, or removal costs. Most non-commercial safety inspections ended in 2025.
Citation classifications, fine amounts, and court consequences can change. Confirm current law or seek legal advice. The $250 service fee does not purchase or guarantee a legal or enforcement outcome.
What About the Cost of Tint Installation in Texas?
The exemption cost ($250) is separate from the cost of having your windows tinted. Professional window tinting in the Texas market typically costs:
- Basic dyed tint (sedan): $150–$300
- Ceramic tint (recommended for TX heat): $300–$600
- Full vehicle ceramic (SUV/truck): $450–$900
Ceramic tint is strongly recommended for Texas drivers — it rejects up to 99% of UV radiation and significantly more heat than dyed films, which is critical in El Paso (UV index 11-12, 297 sunny days), Houston (UV 9-10), and Dallas (UV 10-11). Get your exemption beforevisiting a tint shop so the installer knows you're legally authorized for darker front tint.
