The state of Texas is asking drivers to cowboy up when they get new inspection stickers.
Starting this month, the look of some of the stickers mechanics will affix to the lower left-hand side of car windshields will look different, sporting a variety of cowboy themes.
Various new stickers will debut over the next few months, officials said.
"We wanted to present a new certificate design that was immediately identifiable as being Texans," said JoJo Haselmeyer, director of vehicle services for the Texas Department of Public Safety.
The style of the cowboy image will depend on which of the 10 different types of inspection stickers a vehicle has. The sample that DPS distributed is for counties that don't conduct emissions testing, meaning that most of the Houston area (Harris, Montgomery, Fort Bend, Brazoria and Galveston counties) won't get it.
It's the second big design change DPS has bestowed on Texas vehicles this year. Earlier, it altered the standard license plate design to one set on what appears to be on a stark West Texas landscape, with a lone star amid a splash of red and blue in the upper left-hand corner.
