No, I doubt it.

BTW, Im fairly sure Texas is one of the most strict states as far as emissions goes - not nearly as harsh as Cali, though.
Actually, Texas has one of the best emissions tests. They just plug in to your OBDII connection and walk around the car, they are suppose to lift the car to check underneath, but many of the shops do not even have a lift.
