1. You may be able to pick up a new switch at a good auto store (i.e. NAPA), depends on the car, but they do carry them for some cars. If you have one of the steering colum switches they often sell just the electrical switch module part, so you don't have to worry about getting a different key. This might be easier than doing the salvage yard route, especially for a colum switch.
2. See if you can find a wiring diagram for your car and it's switch, then see if you can find an alternative replacement. This is more likely to work on a car with a dashboard switch...
(3rd alternative, are your state's inspection stations run by the state, or do you go to a local gas station? Here in MA it is known that there exist certain stations that have a two tier price plan - you can pay one price and get your car inspected, or pay a higher price and get an inspection sticker 
Good luck,

Yeah, it's gotta be P.O.
I tried the dealership, and they want $55, and they have to order it. I don't know why I didn't think of NAPA... The switch is easily removed by unscrewing two screws, and taking off two connectors.
The switch is labelled, so finding the right wire isn't terribly difficult.
State inspections in Texas are done by shops that are certified to do so. The price is regulated. I don't know about "pre-inspections", right now I just want the wipers to work!
I'll figure it out, no problem.
