The Lowdown on Legal Tint
Texas has its own set of rules when it comes to window tinting. It’s like a Texas-sized maze, but fear not, we're here to guide you through it.
Tip: Don’t skip — flow matters.
- Windshield: You can tint the top 5 inches of your windshield, but it has to let in at least 25% of light. Think of it as a compromise between looking cool and staying safe.
- Front Side Windows: These are the ones next to your pretty face. You can tint them, but they must let in at least 25% of light. No sneaking around with sunglasses indoors, folks!
- Back Side Windows and Rear Window: This is where the fun begins. You can go as dark as you want on these. It's like having your own personal movie theater on wheels. Just make sure you have outside mirrors if you tint the rear window completely.
Don't Get Burned (Literally and Figuratively)
Remember, the police are not your biggest fans when it comes to illegal tint. They can give you a ticket, and that's no fun. So, be a good Texan and follow the rules. Plus, excessive tint can be a safety hazard, especially at night. So, while looking cool is important, safety is even more so.
Reminder: Short breaks can improve focus.
