What is the legal tint limit in Texas?
Dallas car owner here. I want to tint my windows as much as possible (while staying street-legal, of course). What is the legal tint limit in Texas?

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
The legal tint limit in Texas is 25% VLT.
Whatever
type of window tint
you choose, the limit is 25% visible light transmission for sedans, SUVs, and vans. That means 25% of visible light must be able to pass through your windows.Texas
has one of the lowest tint limits in the United States—a few states allow for 24% VLT, and Michigan allows for any tint level.Note that these numbers are for front seat windows, rear windows, and windshields. Your back seat side windows can have any tint level.
Keep in mind: An
overly tinted window
can lead to a ticket and a demand that you lessen your tinting. The ticket amount will increase with each subsequent warning.MORE: How to tint car windows
