Default Texas emissions program?

I thought TX got rid of its emissions program before it even started, however I carfaxed a mustang for a friend and it came back with this

2004-09-17 HOUSTON,TX Independent Emission Source FAILED EMISSION INSPECTION

2004-09-17 HOUSTON,TX Independent Emission Source PASSED EMISSION INSPECTION

Can anybody shed some light on this?

Thanks
Josh

In Houston there are no emissions test for 96+ cars, they just scan the computer for codes.

Is the Mustang a 1995 or older for it to require an emissions test?






Peace,
Craig.

Damn, I need to come down there and get my **** tested lol. We have emissions up here. They even have emissions VANS parked on the side of the highway remote scanning for high emitters. They can tag your car as a high emitter, and when it comes time for registration they won't allow you to register til you pass emissions again.
