Got one of those smog letters in the mail today
You know those road-side smog testing stations? Ya well supposidly my car is a "high emitter" so I need to go pay $20 to have my car tested and verified. I think that **** is soo stupid. What if a car in front of me was the "high emitter" and just so happened my car passed by after words? I did a tune up like 2 weeks before it happened and I have no codes or anything. Im mad 
It was at the Hwy 6 and I-10 entrance ramp BTW.

If you don't comply, it is first a $350 fine and then it becomes a felony.

I don't think there is anything you can do. Luckily I need a state inspection next month so the test and inspection will the the same price so I just may wait.

Is this only for people in your County or anyone that might pass through...???? I may have to drive the back streets when I come to visit the Houston area...

You shouldn't need to shut off the car, just don't accelerate if you see a suspicious van by the side of the road.
And how can they fine you for not complying if you claim you have not received any letter?
Or did it come certified?
