Having worked through Dallas County, DPS, Dallas Police Department, back to Dallas County, the Auto Theft Task Force, and back to Dallas Police Department, I finally found the answer. The Dallas Police Department will do these inspections (contrary to what they told me yesterday), for Dallas residents only, and by appointment only, with early morning time slots Tuesday through Friday. My appointment is Thursday, hope to have title stuff done and plates by end of week. For those in Dallas, the number is 214-670-5900. Thank you all for help and advice.

Thanks to all the good advise on this thread, I was able to get everything done in one morning. Inspection at 9am; registration sticker and plates on the car at 11:30. Just turned 100 miles yesterday (short trips in this 100+ degree heat). Lots of tweaks yet to do, but that's half the fun.
