Texas State Inspection Practice

What are the duties and responsibilities of an inspector?

1. Accept full responsibility for the quality of the inspection when signing the Vehicle Inspection Report

2. Issue a signed Vehicle Inspection Report to any inspected vehicle

3. Immediately notify the Department representative if your driver's license has been suspended or revoked

4. Upon inspection completion, inform the owner or operator of any equipment that marginally meets inspection requirements

The correct answer is: Issue a signed Vehicle Inspection Report to any inspected vehicle

An inspector's main duty is to thoroughly inspect a vehicle and document any issues on the Vehicle Inspection Report. Option A is incorrect because while an inspector is responsible for performing a thorough inspection, they are not solely responsible for the overall quality of the inspection. Option C is incorrect because an inspector's driver's license status does not pertain to their duties and responsibilities. Option D is incorrect because it is the inspector's responsibility to document any issues on the Vehicle Inspection Report, not to directly inform the owner or operator of any issues. Therefore, option B is the most appropriate answer as it accurately reflects the main duty of an inspector.
