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...
Probably because you thought of it as a "dealer item", I know I would have. I've learned though that it is hard to predict what items are 'dealer' and what things are 'parts house', there doesn't seem to be a real good pattern on which is which. I've just learned to call NAPA first, and then call the dealer if they tell me to.

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"...
Hmmmm.... I don't think you got my meaning, MA has the same type of setup as you describe. However, if you can convince the wrench that you aren't an undercover trying to trap him, at some stations they will skip the inspection and just give you the sticker (for appropriate in$entive$) Helps if you know the person ahead of time, or can give a reference ('Joe sent me')
