I live in Texas and have had a fifth wheel inspected every year since 2001. The inspections are cursory at best. During and after the inspections I usually talk with the inspector who will often share stories of lights, brakes, and tires that he has found that are downright scary. The ignorance of many trailer owners is alarming.
I resent these inspections because there is no way that my trailer or truck is going to fail one, as I won't drive or tow such a defective vehicle. But I'm glad that at least once a year somebody inspects, even in a simplistic surface manner, the Texas trailers that share the road with me.
In other words, Texas inspection isn't much but it's better than nothing.
