Since January 1, 2025, most passenger cars no longer need a safety inspection, and owners pay a $7.50 inspection program replacement fee at registration instead. Gas vehicles 2 to 24 years old still need a yearly emissions test in 17 counties around Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin and El Paso.

Details are on the Texas Department of Public Safety and Texas Commission on Environmental Quality site.
Katy sees about 112 days a year at 90°F or hotter. Heat wears a battery out faster than cold does, so a battery that seems fine in spring can quit in August. Get it tested once it is three years old. Heat also works the AC, the cooling fan and the coolant hard, and those jobs pile up in the first hot weeks of the year.
About 50 inches of rain fall in a year. Worn tires lose grip on wet roads well before they look bald, and streaky wipers are a cheap fix worth doing before the wet season, not during it.
The average commute in Katy is 31 minutes each way, and 69% of workers drive there alone. Long commutes add miles fast, so oil changes and brakes come due sooner than the calendar says.

Some work needs a shop. Transmission swaps, engine rebuilds, alignments and anything that needs a lift go to a garage. Bad weather can push back a driveway job, and you need a safe, legal place to park where the mechanic can work. Many mobile mechanics also run a shop, or will tell you up front when a job needs one.
Get a written estimate that lists parts and labor. Call two or three shops with the same estimate and ask each for a total price. Ask what warranty comes with the parts and the work. Read recent reviews, not just the star score. A shop that explains the problem clearly and shows you the old part is a good sign.
