Is Your Window Tint Legal?

My truck has factory tinted windows but I've always wanted to get them even darker. Lets face it we live in Texas, you can bake a cake inside most cars during the summer.

Now lawmakers have decided to change the law making once acceptable dark window tint illegal. So how do you know? If you had your front windows tinted to match your back factory tinted widows chances are your front widows are to dark.

The only real way to know if your legal to get some clarification from the nice police offer who just pulled you over or  if you fail a state inspection. I get it, police and other drivers want to see who's behind the wheel.

Now if they can just make a law that makes potholes illegal, don't hold your breath.
