I heard that one has to get an inspection for TT's over a certain weight, is that true? Do ya'll in other states have to get an inpection?

I got mine done not long after the inspection mess started and it was a little bit of a cluster. Most places do not want to inspect a trailer due to not having the room (and just making $7) but a sticker stop down the road agreed to do it. The inspector checked the lights and tires but no clue how to check the brakes but had me drive around the block to see that it actually would stop (how did she think I got it there without crashing?). I also got my equipment trailer with surge brakes inspected there and they were so confused by then that they just checked the lights and said it was good. I hope it gets smoother as time goes on, but with the way it is structured I don't have a lot of hope. A lot of the shops that used to do inspections are not doing them anymore and the ones that are have long lines. Guess it will end up with a couple of places where you get in line at 5:00 in the morning and hope you get through that day... Gotta love the Texas Legislature mucking things up again.
Trailer would stop without brakes even if they didn't work we long as the tow vehicles brakes worked. Stopping distances would be longer though.
