Texas state context
Texas VLT laws + market context.
Film laws: Texas allows 25% VLT on front side windows, any darkness on rear sides + back glass. Windshield: top 5 inches AS-1 line. Medical exemption available. Strict enforcement varies by county — Harris and Dallas counties are known for stops; rural counties less so.
Market: Texas is the #1 state for aftermarket service trades by volume. The combination of intense heat (100°F+ summers across most of the state), high vehicle ownership, and a strong truck/SUV culture drives massive tint, ceramic coating, and PPF demand. Houston alone has 200+ tint shops; the DFW metro adds another 300+.
Operators: always verify current VLT statutes with the Texas DOT before quoting work. Laws and enforcement vary by county; medical exemptions usually require state-issued documentation.
