So, I'm now officially a Texan (If thats what you call it :-) ), have TX plates and a temp drivers license. Now regarding tinted windows, somehow screwed me over. I know we have 77% factory tint, and I had installed in NY a tint of 35%, which should technically result in about 27% all together. I did that purposly as Texas allows 25% on the side windows. Now, before getting Texas plates I had to get my car inspected and his meter measured 15%, so I had to remove the tint in order to pass the inspection. First of all, how does anyone has darker tint, if you get it measured at inspection every year, no such thing in NY, but OK that's how it is. But how did I end up at 15% with a 35% installed tint, just weird.

Any idea, and a good recommendation for New Braunfels tinting shop?
