Make friends with someone who owns a shop that does inspections or better yet, make friends with someone who owns a shop's daughter. A friend of mines dad used to own a sinclair station and I got all my inspections for free and without him even checking the car. They cancelled inspections in oklahoma a few years back.

If he can't help ya I might be able to help ya if your willing to drive to Grapevine.

Depending on the county in Texas depends on the level of nazism as far as inspections go.

Default some people......

Thats is completely retarded... do some of you even think about the stupid **** you say?!?!?! - make your own ?!?!?! - the ticket will come in the mail doofus - and it will be a couple hundred bucks plus they will tow your car on the spot and impound it.... maybe your momie did it for you and you didnt notice - not to mention that once you get the ticket or the cop runs your tags your going to jail.... forging a state document is a felony and they will prosecute you for that.... but hey im just about an attorney what do I know? :dots:
