Texas added, though couldn't find anything other than code for vehicle inspection. I guess if it passes inspection then you're good to go? (& looks like only an inside mirror is good enough)

Chapter 4 - Inspection Procedures
04.20.00 Details Of Inspection

20.19 Mirror - Every motor vehicle shall be equipped with a mirror so located as to reflect to the driver a view of the highway for a distance of at least 200 feet to the rear of such motor vehicle.

1. Inspection Procedure
- A. Inspect only one mirror.
-- 1. Exterior Rearview Mirror: From the driver’s position, visually inspect exterior mirror for a clear and reasonably unobstructed view to the rear. Look for correct location and stable mounting.
-- 2. Interior Rearview Mirror: From the driver’s position, visually inspect interior mirror for proper mounting, location, cracks, sharp edges, and ease of adjustment.

2. Inspect for and reject if:
- A. Mirror does not provide the driver with a clear view to the rear of 200 feet.
- B. Vehicle is not equipped with at least one mirror.
- C. Mirror offers unsafe interference with driver’s forward vision.
- D. Reflective surface of mirror is cracked, broken, peeled, tarnished, or has sharp edges.
- E. Mirror is not mounted securely to prevent swing or excessive vibration unless the vehicle is equipped with another mirror which meets requirements.

NOTE: An inside mirror would meet all the above requirements. If the vehicle is equipped with more than one mirror, only one, either inside or outside, needs to meet all requirements.
