Texas State Inspection Practice

Which of the following behaviors will result in enforcement action?

1. Charging more than the required inspection fee

2. Fraudulently represent to a motorist that an item of inspection must be repaired, adjusted, or replaced before the vehicle will pass inspection when that is not true

3. Issuing a passing inspection report for a vehicle without the required items of inspection

4. Prohibiting the vehicle owner to have required corrections or adjustments made by any qualified person of their choice

The correct answer is: Prohibiting the vehicle owner to have required corrections or adjustments made by any qualified person of their choice

A possible explanation could be As an inspector, you are responsible for ensuring that vehicles pass inspection only when they meet all the required safety and emission standards. Therefore, any attempts to prevent the owner from making necessary corrections or adjustments by qualified individuals of their choice would result in enforcement action as it goes against the purpose of vehicle inspection. The other options listed are also incorrect as they involve fraudulent actions or missing requirements, but they do not explicitly go against the purpose of vehicle inspection like Option D does.
