Add your neighbors NV and AZ to that list because they charge based on vehicle cost too.

You have to deal with a full smog test similar to California in Texas? Visual, sniffer, OBDII read, everything? In a post 1995 year vehicle?
FYI this was taken verbatim off the Texas website.
"Vehicles produced in 1995 and prior will receive a Two Speed Idle Test while vehicles produced in and after 1996 will be tested via the On-Board Diagnostic test."
The Two-Speed Idle test is for older vehicles that do not possess the on-board diagnostic system that cars today are equipped with.
The OBDII test utilizes a scan tool that plugs directly into the vehicle’s internal computer and analyzes the data to determine whether the emissions system and its related components are working properly. Most often, if your vehicle is experiencing any sort of emissions malfunction, the internal computer will trigger the Check Engine light to come on.
Starting beginning of March I will be living there, I spoke to the local ordinances when it comes to smog on what does and doesn't fly as far as emissions goes. They literally sent me to the website that i got the bold above from. Where exactly in Texas do you live?
