Is Your Window Tint Legal in Texas? Here’s What You Need to Know
Window tint is a must in Texas—but is yours legal? At Blue Ocean Auto Spa in Cedar Park, we help you stay cool and compliant with the latest tint laws. Here’s your guide to Texas window tint regulations and why ceramic tint is your best bet.

- Front Side Windows: Must allow more than 25% of visible light (VLT).

- Rear Window: No VLT restriction (again, dual mirrors required).
- Reflectivity: No more than 25% reflective.
Other Requirements
- Tint Installer Certification: Legal tints must be installed by a certified facility—like Blue Ocean Auto Spa.
- Compliance Sticker: Must be visible on the driver-side window.
- Medical Exemptions: Special rules apply for those with medical conditions—ask us how to qualify.

A new vehicle has a way of making every drive feel intentional, especially when it's something as distinctive as a 2026 Tesla Model X. With its sweeping roofline, expansive glass, and crisp white finish set against deep black trim and wheels, this particular Model X arrived with one goal in mind: preserve that new-car experience for as long as possible. The owner had recently taken delivery and already understood the realities of daily driving in Travisso, one of Leander's rapidly growing communities. New construction brings progress, but it also brings an endless stream of gravel trucks, loose debris, and freshly paved roads that can be unforgiving to automotive paint. Rather than wait for the first chips and imperfections to appear, they chose to protect the vehicle from day one.
Tesla vehicles have unique glass designs that benefit from the right window tint. Compare film options, tint percentages, and professional installation considerations.
Paint correction can improve the results of a ceramic coating application by addressing swirl marks, scratches, and paint defects before long-term protection is installed.
