AUSTIN – The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) today launched a public safety announcement (PSA) video reminding Texans of the upcoming changes to the state’s Vehicle Safety Inspection Program beginning on Jan. 1, 2025. These changes—which eliminate many vehicle safety inspections—are due to House Bill 3297. The bill was passed by the 88th Legislature and signed into law by Governor Greg Abbott in 2023, abolishing the Vehicle Safety Inspection Program for non-commercial vehicles.

AUSTIN – Texas 10 Most Wanted Sex Offender Raymond Trejo is this month’s Featured Fugitive. The reward for information leading to his arrest is now increased to $3,000 during December if the tip is received this month.
