Texas emissions?

Texas emissions?
Kinda considering a midpipe (currently have supercat) but wondering if anyone can help clarify the law with testing in texas. I looked it up and it seems like only certain counties will test if your car is registered there. So my 2 questions are: did I read that correctly or is it statewide required/not? And if it is county specific... When I first got my car, I was in montgomery county (lived with parents till graduated high school), but I've been in san antonio for the last couple years... Would my car be considered registered in montgomery?

Passing emissions in Texas is as easy as finding somebody who doesn't like the government (specifically the laws)... So, pretty much you need to find a inspector that isn't some pansy little goody goody... I know one around the Spring area, cool guy...

The emissions test is only in a few counties, ie metro areas.
Will only inspect the car where ever your car is registered.
So if you move, say from there to SA and you register your car in SA, then you would have to inspect the car in SA. If you still have the car registered back home then you would have to do the inspection back home. I think SA also requires the emissions test. No?

One thing to note... if you are registered in a non-emissions county, you can still get it inspected in an emissions city, however, they will charge you for the emissions test and not perform it.
On the flip side, you could always swap in your cat once a year.

yeah, I've considered that but dont have jack stands and not sure about where I'd do it since I'm in an apartment complex. I guess I could do it in my spot but if there's anyone on either side it can be tight, we have amazingly limited parking (worst part of my place). I probably know a few people who could help though. It also doesnt help that I didnt keep my cat... though I guess I could hold on to the supercat... If I did switch to the catless pipe, I would have to have a fake sensor to pass, correct?
