Residents of the City of Houston and Harris County must conduct 68A inspections with their respective agency of jurisdiction.
Due to the nature of vehicle inspections, we are unable to conduct these inspections during times of inclement weather. Fort Bend County residents in need of such inspections must present the subject vehicle or trailer along with accompanying documents at the time of inspection.To better serve all Fort Bend County residents in need, we are unable to travel to the vehicle location for inspection purposes. To prevent the occurrence of fraud, detectives are unable to conduct and report Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) research information via phone.While detectives strive to adhere to the above inspection schedule, there may be times when other duties call them away from inspection service. Should you wish to call ahead to ensure availability, please contact an Auto Theft Unit detective.
