Don’t misunderstand me here. I am not that worked up over a change in the way Texas motor vehicles will be marked as being properly inspected.

Beginning next March, the state won’t require motorists to have a sticker slapped on their windshields to show police officers that the vehicle’s been inspected.

The change appears to have some folks a bit nervous. Why? I have no clue.

The idea, as I understand it, is to save the state some dough, a couple million bucks a year. I guess that’s the cost of printing the stickers that go on our windshields.

Some individuals have interpreted the change as meaning the state won’t require the inspections. Wrong.

We’ll still be required to have mechanics look for safety defects in our vehicles before we purchase auto registration stickers that will continue to be displayed on our windshields.

But as with most change, some of us get a bit jumpy about it.

One lawmaker told my pal Enrique Rangel, writing for the Amarillo Globe-News, that he voted against the legislation creating the change because it was “so overreaching.” Rep. Drew Springer, R-Muenster, then told Rangel that the bill was approved with so little debate he’d forgotten about it until Rangel brought it up to him.

I have no idea what he means.

Well, the sticker is gone. The inspection remains. We’ll just have to get used to it, as we usually do whenever change is forced upon us.
