A moped is subject to inspection in the same manner as a motorcycle, except that the only items of equipment required to be inspected are the brakes, headlamps, rear lamps, and reflectors, which must comply with the standards prescribed by the Texas Transportation Code. Not all vehicles are created equal. Just like people, some are cooler than others so they don't have to go through the same hassle.
