In Texas, it depends on where you are. If in the big city such as Dallas, Houston, San Antonio then you get a smog check and safety inspection. I'm in the country, closest town has a population of 6K so we have no smog test. They check tires, brakes (drive the vehicle), all lights, exhaust, horn, wipers, gas or diesel cap (there is a pressure tester for the caps) and be sure the brake fluid is full. Once a year, cost for the diesel is less than 20 bucks. Same for the old gas farm truck. I have several antique autos, don't have to inspect them as I have antique tags on them. Also, you have to show proof of insurance to get the inspection. All the above is done in the big city as well as the treadmill test with the sensor pipe up the exhaust pipe and the cost if twice as much. If it doesn't pass the first time, you are given a window of time to make the repairs prior to re-inspection. Oh yea, and they also check window tint with a gauge. Better than the Highway Patrol guy checking it I guess. My windows in my diesel are all bubbled up and I can barely see out of them, but they pass. Go figure.

Let’s examine the purpose and design of these fasteners in order to ensure their proper use. Fasteners are probably one of the aspects of mechanics that is given the least amount of thought.
