Will airbag light on pass the safety inspection in Texas?

Yes, a vehicle with an illuminated airbag light will fail a safety inspection in Texas. According to the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS), a vehicle must have all safety devices in working order, including airbags, in order to pass inspection.

If your vehicle's airbag light is on, it is recommended that you have it diagnosed and repaired as soon as possible. Driving with a damaged or malfunctioning airbag system can be dangerous and may increase your risk of injury in a collision.

In addition to failing inspection, driving with an illuminated airbag light may also result in a citation from law enforcement. In Texas, it is against the law to operate a vehicle with any safety device that is not in working order.
