Here's the gospel according to Tx DPS:
http://www.txdps.state.tx.us/rsd/vi/...nCriteria.aspx
Inspection Criteria for the Annual SAFETY Inspection
Inspection/Rejection Criteria
20.27 Tail Lamp.
2. Inspect for and reject if:
d. Lamp lens is painted, missing, discolored, or does not fit properly.
h. Lamp lens is not red color.
That's the law. Obviously it's not strictly enforced. YMMV

Don't worry, I'm not trying to start an argument. I just cut and pasted the applicable law(s) from the DPS web site. How that law is enforced is up to the individual inspector.
