Same idea in Texas, but they pull the old "windshield wipers are
cracked" (after cracking them), and "we'll replace them and let you
out of here for the low low jacked up price of $25" trick. Texas
inspection covers headlights, horn, brake lights, window tint level,
safety mirrors, emissions?, and a few other random things. You can get
your car inspected at lots of places (from dealerships to corner
mechanics), but there's always the "friendly" places that'll let a
missing catalytic converting and straight pipes go for a $20 bill or
cold 12 pack of MGD.
