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.

You're arguing something completely different from your initial statement. You were complaining about California requiring emissions testing and then said it doesn't even exist in Texas. Now you're arguing that the testing methods are different and since you can cheat the tests in Texas that somehow nullifies their existence.
