I was new to Texas when I first read that requirement and that has been quite a number of years ago. Now a person has to have a car verified at a certified state inspection station. It has to pass inspection and the number has to be on the car in one of two locations in their manual. I think they will still accept a pencil rubbing for a number that can't readily be seen but I've not had to worry about it yet. If they made a person lift the body then I sure wouldn't want to be caught in a lie.
Way back when I purchased my first in TX model A, they had no state inspection and as long as the vehicle already had a TX title then they just issued a new title in my name. They only looked at out of state vehicles and TX DPS officer had to look at the VIN. This is what they did with my other daily driver vehicles when I moved down here.
