Spot the violations?
I'm from Texas but live in TN. In 2008 I went to work back in my home town in Bryan/College Station. I took pics.

I haven't ever seen that kind of panel. Why the four poles tied together?
Why #6 bare from meter? Is the panel bonded?

Siemens/ITE, GE and some older Murray panels had that style of mains.
Some panels I get from my Siemens distributor still come with those style of mains.

white wire not reidentified, unterminated conductors.
why a ground wire for a main breaker panel? It doesn't look like a bonding bushing. Did you seperate the grounds/neutrals?
isn't there a rule about ko being in the top 1/3 or 2/3 of an outdoor panel?

So is each phase paralleled through two poles?

If that bare conductor is a GEC through the offset nipple where are my bond bushings?

Does it ever rain there? If it's above uninsulated parts, it needs, at least, a sealing lockring, sealing o-ring, or even better, a Myers hub. Maybe you could Scotchcote that bus!
