Can an individual sell a car with expired inspection sticker in Texas?

In the state of Texas, it is illegal to sell a car with an expired inspection sticker. The inspection sticker is a sticker that shows that the car has passed a safety and emissions inspection. If a car does not have a valid inspection sticker, it is considered to be an unsafe vehicle and cannot be sold.

There are a few exceptions to this rule. First, if the car is being sold to a licensed dealer, the dealer can purchase the car with an expired inspection sticker and then have it inspected before reselling it. Second, if the car is being sold to someone who is out of state, the buyer can purchase the car with an expired inspection sticker and then have it inspected in their home state.

If you are caught selling a car with an expired inspection sticker, you could be fined up to $200. In addition, the buyer of the car could sue you for damages if they are injured in an accident caused by a defect that the inspection would have revealed.
