I've seen up to $185 paid out for both cats for scrap metal (not in TX)

If the dealership is too stupid to recognize that cats are gone before buying a car, that's not the customer's problem. A buddy of mine totally forgot to tell his shop to remove his test pipes when they removed his exhaust before trade-in. Dealer missed it somehow and tried to say something about it after they had already signed off on the deal. My buddy told them tough $hit and walked out with payment for his car; later he went back and offered them the stock cats in trade for his TPs and labor to swap them. The dealer balked at first but eventually took his offer.
