    Default Texas Window Tint...How dark did you go?

    I am about to get my windows tinted, but I dont know how dark I want to go.

    I know that 25% is the darkest legally. 35% to get it inspected.

    Do any of you have 35% or darker? Have you had any problems?

    My brother just got pulled over by DPS yesterday. Officer checked his tint and said it was 32% and 28% was legal. This was on 276 in Rockwall.

    limit for the front side windows is 25%

    back windows no limit

    front windshield, there is line where you cant put tint

    is there some form of clear tint for the windshield that doesnt allow heat to go through but allows all sunlight?

    32% was fine for this officer. My brother could have gotten the 28% wrong or whatever. He was probably saying 28 to make his look closer.

    I didn't even know DPS pulled people over for that stuff. I think he just wanted to check my brother out. He's got rims, system stuff like that. A car you want to pull over.

    I got a friend who does inspections. He has been written up 2 times in the past 3 years. DPS brings a vehicle in and either watches him inspect it without him knowing or after it was inspected pointed out the things that he missed.

    It couldn't have anything to do with him having a brother named "OUTRUN" could it?
