Well first of all, if the vehicle is not registered you will find it hard to go through inspection for they need to see the registration paperwork to process through the state computer system.
As long as the vehicle is not registered in Texas. Once registered, you are always required to have a valid inspection.

The same as whatever state your vehicle is registered in.
The 'Service Engine Soon' light is required by the OBD-II standard for vehicle systems. It is required to light when a malfunction occurs that will increase the emissions level of your vehicle. The 'Service Vehicle Soon' light is simply a safety item to tell you something is wrong, even if it's not engine or emissions related.
Your vehicle must pass an emissions test when required.
is this vehicle currently registered?
If the vehicle is currently registered (i.e.: has valid current tags) the state requires that it be insured. If the vehicle is not currently registered, it is not required that it be insured - but NOBODY may operate it.
As a policewoman would say: Do you have your car registration, car insurance, and driver's license. Those are required. Some states also require a vehicle inspection and for the vehicle to pass an emissions test.
Many things. Whether or not the car can be sold (originally) in CA. The engine size and tune-up specs. The required Emissions Equipment. Now they have bar-codes, etc. to help the mechanic/emissions guy.
After one year, all new cars bought must pass the emissions test in counties that require the test. Once a vehicle is 25 years old, the emissions test is no longer required.
