Welcome to Texas. Here's all (and probably more) than you want to know.

Texas Window Tint Law
Texas Tint Law Enacted: 2003
HOW DARK CAN WINDOW TINT BE IN TEXAS?

Darkness of tint is measured by Visible Light Transmission percentage (VLT%). In Texas, this percentage refers to percentage of visible light allowed in through the combination of film and the window.

Windshield Non-reflective tint is allowed along the top of the windshield above the manufacturer's AS-1 line.
Front Side Windows Must allow more than 25% of light in.
Back Side Windows Must allow more than 25% of light in.
Rear Window Any darkness can be used.

HOW REFLECTIVE CAN THE TINT BE IN TEXAS?

Similar to sunglass lenses, some tinting film contain metallic elements that help in reflecting incoming light and reducing the glare and heat generated by visible light.

Front Side Windows Must not be more than 25% reflective.
Back Side Windows Must not be more than 25% reflective.

OTHER TEXAS RULES AND REGULATIONS

Restricted Colors The tint color(s) of RED are not legal by state law.
Side Mirrors Dual side mirrors are required if back window is tinted.
Certificate Requirements Manufacturers of film need to certify the film they sell in the state. Ask your dealer if they are using ceritified film.
Sticker Requirements The sticker to identify legal tinting is required between the film & glass on the driver’s side window.
Medical Exemption State allows medical exemptions for special tint. For more details about the specific terms of the exemption, consult your state law.

You're the first I've heard of pulled over for that law (yes it exists)! Compliments of your friendly DPS:
The slow-down or move-over law took effect on Sept. 1, 2003. The law requires drivers nearing stopped emergency vehicles with emergency lights activated to either slow down or change lanes. Specifically, the law states a driver must either slow down 20 miles per hour below the speed limit or vacate the lane closest to the stopped emergency vehicle that has emergency lights activated if the road has multiple lanes traveling in the same direction. (If the speed limit is below 25 mph, the driver must slow down to 5 mph.) Drivers should only move over if they can safely and legally do so; otherwise, they should slow down.
I don't think I can even drive 5 mph!

Im not leaving for like anther 3 months.
Your not the only one in vegas. 98clgirllv is in vegas too. But she is not on here much. But she is pretty cute though.

JayT

Yeah 98clgirllv is in vegas but I never see her on the boards anymore ...I took the pics on my way to twenty nine palms in so cal. Somewhere on Cima road or Kelso. I stopped and took a couple at diff. locations, it's perfect for a photo shoot. I also snapped a pic. of my baby with salt flats in the background...it's about an hour out of Vegas.

SwervinCL

Yeah i know where the salt flats are. I need to do a photo shoot before i leave.

In a few weeks, ill contact 98clgirllv and well hook it up with a meet. I actually think there is one other person as well.

SwervinCL

So they actually inspect the tint when they do the inspection?

CL'er 1st & 2nd Gen's

They can if you go somewhere that's really picky. Here's the annual ritual:

State Safety Inspection checklist:

Check for broken or burned out turn signals, brake lights, tail Lights, license plate light and reflectors
Check for missing or broken gas cap & seal
Check operation and condition of seat belts
Check parking brake function (does it holds the car)
Window Tint (1988 or newer only, check too dark/below AS1 line on front windshield)
Rear view mirror
Interior high beam indicator, high beam switch, turn signal indicators
Check wiper blade condition and operation
EGR, TAC, PCV components (present/working)
Check operation and condition of power steering and power brakes
Check EVAP cannister and air pump
Check operation and condition of headlights
Exhaust System (including manifold, check for leaks, proper hangers)
Check catalytic converter function (1984 or newer)
Check tires (rim condition, tire condition, minimum tire tread, all lug nuts, splits/cracks)
You must present proof of insurance at the time of inspection
during the driving portion of the State Inspection Test, the vehicle will be checked for steering slack or binding, horn operation, brake stopping distance and parking brake function
