Inspection for Texas

Inspection for Texas
Alright after owning my LNF for one year it's time for inspection. So far the only thing I can think of that might cause some complications is possibly the ZZP catted downpipe. I also have HID's on my stocker headlights (gonna get retrofits soon). I already know that my K2 tail lights won't allow me to pass since they already told me that there too "Dark". Oh yeah I have to the top of my front windshield tinted. The inspection folks also told me that the tint has to be within 5 inches and measuring it, it's about 4 1/2. They don't have emissions test in my county but they do look underneath the car so I'm a little worried about what there gonna say. The previous owner inspected the car with the tint and told me they didn't mind it, but of course that was in Dallas TX. It's always different from state, city and county. Just wondering if I need to worry about anything else besides being "Tuned"

If you live outside of the major city's in texas and they do not do emissions test then you shouldn't have much to worry about it's a safety only test which most people just don't care about find the most rinky-dink testing place you can find and they'll probably just take your money and give you a sticker I've had 3 different classic vehicles here in Texas always safety only and never a problem
Mines due this month also not gonna lie ima little worried aswell though my car is bone stock so I shouldnt have anything to worry about

if you go to a place that does a majority of inspections as their primary job, then yeah you're going to fail (specifically for the downpipe). That or if you go to a place who's inspector does a thorough job.
Generally, all they're going to do is check the brakes, make sure there are no big cracks on the windshields, you have all your mirrors, and nothing looks out of place. Then they'll hook up an OBDII scanner and check your readiness monitors. If two of your monitors are not ready (or you have the MIL light on) you fail.
