The theft of catalytic converters is on the rise. Because of this, it is especially important to understand that it is illegal in Texas to sell a vehicle without the catalytic converters installed. Texas law prohibits any person from selling, offering for sale, leasing, or offering to lease any vehicle not equipped with all emission control systems or devices in good operable condition.
