Legality

The Texas DMV will title kei-cars as of April 4th, 2024 Title and Registration Procedures for Mini Vehicles.

This is thanks to Lone Star Kei. Currently they are working on passing SB 1816 to codify the legality of kei vehicles in law. 

Vehicle inspection

As of January 1st, 2025, cars in Texas no longer need a safety inspection. Counties can still require an emissions test and most populous counties in Texas do (Harris, Travis, Tarrant, etc) but there is an exemption for cars 25+ years old.
