BTW, Im fairly sure Texas is one of the most strict states as far as emissions goes - not nearly as harsh as Cali, though.

It's my understanding that on newer cars they just hook up to the OBD, no sniffer. Worst case my brother can get me a sticker, but I'd rather not have to worry about it. I know they don't actually look under the car, at least not that I've seen.
