Went to inspection stations and was told that a new law came into effect on September 1. No safety inspections for trailers under 7500 lbs.!!! So glad because we could barely get the trailer into its new space, with much trouble. Did not interest me to come out of there and get back in for the VIN. Have plate, will travel.
So, Mary, no safety inspections for sure now!

Glad to hear about the new law. I had forgotten about needing to get a safety inspection so that will be one less thing to be concerned about. Congrats on getting you license without having to jump thru to many hoops.
"Sec. 548.052. VEHICLES NOT SUBJECT TO INSPECTION. This
chapter does not apply to:
(3) a trailer, semitrailer, pole trailer, or mobile
home having an actual gross weight or registered gross weight of
7,500 pounds or less;"
Here is a link to newpaper article in the Houston Chron regarding the trailer weight change.
