ALRIGHT FOLKS. EVERYBODY HAS HEARD THE MOTHERS WINDOW TINT COMMERCIAL RAVING "NEW STATE LAW TINT YOUR WINDOWS DARK, DARK, DARK"! MY PHONE IS STILL RINGING OFF THE HOOK WITH OUR CLIENTS ASKING ABOUT THIS. SO LET ME CLARIFY.   IN TEXAS WE HAVE A NET LAW. MEANING ANY FILM YOU APPLY TO THE GLASS AND WITH THE ALREADY NATURAL COLOR OR TINT IN THE GLASS MUST BE ABOVE 25%VLT(VISIBLE LIGHT TRANSMISSION). THIS APPLIES TO THE FRONT DRIVERS AND PASSENGER DOOR ONLY. THIS NET LAW USED  TO BE 20% VLT. TECHNICALLY SPEAKING, PROVIDING THAT YOU HAVE BOTH DRIVERS AND PASSENGER SIDE MIRRORS YOU CAN NOW TINT ANY VEHICLES REAR WINDOWS ANY SHADE YOU CHOOSE. IF YOU WANT DOUBLE LIMO NO PROBLEM AS FAR AS TEXAS LAW IS CONCERNED. THIS LAW USED TO BE 20% NET FOR CARS 1988 AND NEWER BUT DID NOT APPLY TO TRUCKS, VANS OR SUV'S. SO IF YOU HAD A 1987 CAR YOU COULD TINT ALL GLASS IMMEDIATELY TO THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AS DARK AS YOU LIKED. IF YOU HAD A 1988 OR NEWER CAR, YOU COULD ONLY TINT THE BACK GLASS DARKER, NOT THE REAR DOORS. BUT AGAIN THE OLD LAW DID NOT APPLY TO TRUCKS, VANS OR SUV’S. HOW STUPID CAN THESE SO CALLED EDUCATED IDIOTS WITH NO COMMON SENSE GET THAT WE ELECTED!    SO HOW DID THIS EFFECT THE WINDOW TINT INDUSTRY? WELL REALLY IT DID NOT DO A DAMN THING AS FAR AS THE FRONT 2 WINDOWS IS CONCERNED. ALL THE NEW LAW DOES IS ALLOW YOU TO TINT THE BACK DOORS AND REAR GLASS OF A CAR DARKER. IF YOU HAVE A TRUCK, VAN OR SUV YOU COULD TINT ALL BACK GLASS DARKER ANYWAY EVEN WITH THE OLD LAW. WHEN THE LAW WAS NET 20%VLT YOU STILL COULD NOT INSTALL 20% FILM ON THE FRONT DOORS BECAUSE WITH THE NATURAL COLOR IN ALL AUTO GLASS I HAVE SEEN IT WOULD THROW YOU  TECHNICALLY IN VIOLATION. PROBABLY DOWN TO ABOUT 17% VLT(IN VIOLATION OF LAW).   BASICALLY 35% FILM ON THE FRONT IS LEGAL NOW AS IT WAS BEFORE THE LAW CHANGED. HOWEVER, YOU CAN AT LEAST TINT AS DARK AS YOU LIKE ON ALL GLASS IMMEDIATELY TO THE  BACK OF ANY VEHICLE.   AS FAR AS THE MOTHERS WINDOW TINT COMMERCIAL. THIS IS JUST A GIMMICK OR PLOY TO GET THERE PHONES RINGING SO THAT THEY CAN SELL YOU A TINT JOB. THEY HAVE NO SPECIAL PRIVILEGE THAT SOMEHOW THEY CAN TINT YOUR WINDOWS ANY DARKER  (LEGALLY) THAN ANYONE ELSE.   NOW IF ANYONE ELSE TELLS YOU THAT YOU CAN TINT YOUR FRONT WINDOWS AS DARK AS YOU LIKE LEGALLY, WELL THEY ARE IGNORANT!!
