I’m sure it depends on the area and county, but Houston you can practically mod anything and be fine
The only ‘limits’ are noise if you care for neighbors and depending on the part of town a front plate. Although I’ve never been stopped for no front plate in Houston, a completely different story if you’re in say Conroe. For inspection, you need both cats not giving issues (let’s just say I’ve had first-hand experience with a P0430 code and having it turned off in HPTuners allowed me to pass inspection), good wiper blades, good tire tread, working lights and that’s about it
Realistically, the only thing you might get into a bit of a pickle for if a officer is looking for a reason is window tint even if your check engine light is on
