Does Texas smog Diesels?

Just curious, does Texas smog Diesels? Here in Cali, diesels don't need to be smogged thank god, cause i'd fail, big time lol

Would hate to fail a safety inspection when I finally move there. They easy to pass?

How would any pre-CDI diesel ever pass an emission test?

If the car is 25 years or older, no smog testing at all.

In Texas the property tax makes up for it, though. I pay an outrageous amount on my home. That is why I'm probably going to buy a cottage or bungalow on the Alabama Gulf coast one of these days. Dirt cheap property taxes, vs. Texas or Florida.
