IFR to VFR airport - Alternate Required!
Great little article in AOPA this month clarifying 91.169 requirements for when filing an alternate airport is a requirement. I was not aware that I should be filing an alternate if I was flying to an airport that was VMC and didn't have an instrument approach. In this case filing an alternate is required. This takes a bit more planning if you regularly file to an airport without an instrument approach Good to know.

This has always been the case, and is a favorite cfii question: "For the 1-2-3 rule to apply, what do you need besides 1-2-3?" (a published approach that you can perform).

I doubt my memory can remember! 
Some other countries than the USA require you file an alternate period! So I just look for a good alternate for all IFR flights and just file it....too easy to do and too easy to get in trouble in a different country if you forget.

Also, there are a few airports where the 1-2-3 rule can get you into trouble, because the approach minimums are more than 3 miles, or the MDA is over 2000' agl!

Good one Bob!
You made me do homework on the weekend 
KTEX is a good one for your example on all the approaches there.
I am sure there are many more, but that one was easy to find.....been there, done that and got the T-Shirt

At South Lake Tahoe all the non-gps approaches require 5 miles visibility (gps approach needs "just" 3).They want you to start any miss out over the lake, not in the valley.
