Do all of you guys that have passed in tx have cats? Maybe a stupid question...I have LT's/OR X/Corsa. Car is tuned and I have no DIC codes. What do I need to do to pass in TX.

They don't do a visual in Tx? In NY, they hook you up to the computer and then do a visual inspection to see if you have cats.
