Again, unless you're in one of the major metro areas, there won't be an emissions test. I've never had the inspector open the hood. They might pressure test your gas cap, but that would be about it. They'll check lights, horn, and wipers. Where I go he'll listen to make sure there are no holes or leaks in the exhaust, but he's pretty much just eyeballing it from the back. Texas inspection is pretty easy to pass. Cheap too at $12.50.
So, like I said earlier, if you're paranoid about anything possibly not passing then look for an inspection station that seems run-down. They tend to be a bit lax when it comes to some of the requirements.
