I go through one all the time when i exit 610 to 288 south. Never gotten a ticket. Although there are cameras and **** set up everywhere. Maybe they can't ticket me because i live in Brazoria County?

Targeted On-Road Testing (Remote Sensing)
On-Road testing is used to target high-emitting vehicles commuting from adjacent ozone nonattainment counties. Targeted motorists are required to have their vehicle tested within 30 days of notification. The van-installed on-road testing equipment is strategically placed to capture auto emissions from single-lane traffic in an acceleration mode and is utilized in densely populated areas. On-Road testing will also be used as a program validation tool to test vehicles exiting from test and repair sites.
For more information about On-Road Testing go to . Texas Department of Public Safety(DPS).

I drove by one (right where Seth is describing) a couple years ago. I got a notice in the mail to go to the nearest Harris County testing facility, and have my car tested or I could receive a fine. I put the stock catted h-pipe back on my mustang, drove to the testing facility, passed, drove back home, then immediately put my off-road h-pipe back on.
They don't look under your car. They sniff it as it passes by, and if they detect an illegal amount, they take a snapshot of your LP #, then send you a notice.
I also live in Brazoria county (where there were no emissions testing at the time) and they told me it didn't matter that I lived there. If I commute to Harris county, I am required to be up to date.

you'll know the van when you see it....and you'll also pass a huge yellow and black sign that says Emmisions Testing or some ****.....ive seen quite a few around this area.....never had any problems, even if they did ticket me, i would tell them to suck on my left ********...but my friend did get warned when he threw a cigarette butt outta his car...he gotta letter in the mail from the DPS saying that if a cop see's you do that you can get fined for littering.....those fuggers are sneaky little bastards..

Never had a problem with them. But yeah, just don't accelerate very hard (or push the clutch in). But do it a little while before, or you'll have your emissions cloud still following you through the sensors.
I wouldn't recomend turning the car off, your steering wheel will lock
