I use the Kwik Kar in Gun Barrel, easy in, easy out, done!

Getting your trailer inspected every year is not that hard...but there is a way around it. I told the clerk at our county license office that my boat/trailer does not weigh over 4500lbs. Some trailers are classified by the "potential carrying weight" of the axles. Unlike a utility type trailer this custom drive on trailer will only fit the boat on it. She asked what was a fair weight and she changed it for me. Now mine says 4500lbs not something higher. No more hooking up just to go get a trailer inspection each year! There is always the chance that a trooper could weigh your rig out on the highway and if you are concerned and not sure about your total weight a trip by some CAT scales will answer your question.

Boat trailer inspections

You would think that since they did not require it a year ago then it should be ok, i think i just go down to the courthouse and see if it will go through, if not I will wait until Sept 1 and get it done.

So I'm wondering if the weight stipulation applies to when registering for the first time in Texas??

If registration is due I would spend the $7.50 and the 10 minutes it takes to have it done.

I have no plans on using my boat until September, that is when the law changes, I have to go down and register another boat and vehicle, going to try and run it through, it worked the last time.
