Great news - not sure why I thought Collin county had a sniffer - thanks for the heads up. Hopefully it's too low for them to try and look underneath - haha

FYI, the laws are much stiffer since last year. If it is found out that an inspector knew about something that could fail a car and passed it anyways then it's no longer a fine, the inspector gets a minimum two year jail sentence. They are cracking down hardcore on some of the more "lax" shops, I know of two guys who are already in jail because of this.
LAYGO, delete your post man. Even if he is an honest person and it was just a simple misunderstanding, you can call unwanted attention to his shop. They will start combing his records and they will look for any inconsistency. I don't think he'd appreciate the matching bracelets that the officers will give him.

Last time I went to get my truck inspected the guy did everything on my truck, sniffer, scanner, tint, etc. I'm talking everything and mines an 04, guess he was just trying to be a dick. I don't know how long they let it run for the sniffer and scanner test, but for mine he let it run for at the bare minimum of like 15 minutes easy.

Throughout the state. A friend of mine manages an oil change shop and was filling me in on the new laws. If an inspector willfully passes a failing car then it's 2+ years in jail. If they pass a car due to ignorance then it's like a $600 fine for the first offense and a suspense of the license. He had a guy who was working for him that was from another shop that the owner had in the next town. Just ONE guy was doing shady inspections and the whole shop was disbursed. They had the owner shift around the employees from his other shops so that the employees who had worked together with the convicted inspector would be put under different managers (who they assumed would watch them more closely). It was nuts.

Especially being a truck, you can have dumped exhaust and everything lol.
Maybe he was just being a dick.

You can have dumped exhaust on any car. The problem with the 3rd and 4th gens is the rear hatch area is considered part of the passenger compartment. Trucks have a passenger compartment that doesn't extend back so far, so you can dump them right after the cab.
