Nope, not anymore. The tint law now is:

Passenger vehicle - ALL doors, front or rear at least 25%, back window - dark as you want it.

Pickups - Front doors only at least 25% - Back doors and windows - dark as you want it.

We have had many debates on this reasoning and can't come up with a valid reason why they (Texas Legislature) would have the law this way. Also is does not state if a SUV falls in the passenger car category or pickup category. We have also asked for clarification on the new "cross-overs". What are they? SUV? Car? Who knows.... We are hoping in the next session beginning on January 13 they may clarify this law.

Honestly man, none of us can come up with a logical reason as to why it is this way. It's STUPID. I feel the same way, I wanted 15% on the back door windows of my wife's Accord when our little girl was a baby. But had to stay with the 25% since I am supposed to obey the law as well as uphold it.

Some judges yes, some no. Here we have 4 JP's, three will dismiss if fixed, the other absolutely not. It is definitely worth a shot. Call the judge and plead your case. Try to go in person and show the judge your car after it is fixed, take a receipt showing that you paid to have it changed. Showing the judge that you have made every attempt to obey the law should go a long way. Hope that helps.

As far as the 91 in 80, good luck. The last time I had a speeding ticket was in 2001, I took the Defensive Driving Course online while watching a Saturday of college football.
