What happened
Beginning November 1, drivers in Bexar County must pass an emissions test to renew vehicle registration. This requirement, which is tied to a state mandate, applies to gasoline-powered vehicles between two and 24 years old. Local officials had pushed to delay the requirement, but that request was denied by both the state and the Environmental Protection Agency.

Why it matters
The new rules introduce a mandatory testing step and a fee of $18.50 for drivers. This fee is allocated to the testing provider and the state, and the testing service itself is provided by companies like Official Inspection Station and Texas Tag and Title.
