This should be 95% no, with the remainder answering don't know/care.
This nonesense was manufactured by OzoneMan prior to the 2000 election to make Dubya look bad to the nation.
Lee Brown and his crew have been and are taking everything that's not nailed down. They are like locusts. And they will soon be looking for the next field to strip. Since Lee Brown is term limited. If he comes to your town - Beware!
Bump.
They project the failure rate of this new testing will be 12% which proves that they are needlessly testing 88% of the cars, and raping the majority of the people to catch a minority of violators.
THIS SHOULD NOT STAND! NOT IN TEXAS! NOT IN AMERICA!
Might as well fight it now when it's easy to stop then after they get it rolling with a full head of steam.

This one, if you can get it is going to cost $39.50, in the 5 counties that come under it this year, 2 of which are going from no testing to this farce.
Lets get this goron nonsense stopped before it spreads like cancer all over the Lone Star.
Averaging about 1 vote every minute now. Keep it up FReepers!

I expect there will be more folks upset the last week of May, when 90% of folks will go in for their inspection, and find they a new hoop to jump through.
The public is fixing to find out why the inspectors have been calling TNRCC TrainReck for years.
Houston went from over 1000 inspection stations to under 300, and of those more than half are limited to the On Board Diagnostic II testing and can only do 100 cars per month. My Dad who still lives in town, got a letter showing just 2 ASM2 testing stations in his area. Neither station was close, I think he said 15 miles or more away.
No real numbers are available for ASM/OBD stations and lots of stations are still waiting for the new equipment and upgrades to the test software.
