There is a big contract supplier that guarantees it will be acceptable in every state.

It was shipped through a third party, so I did a little (and I mean minimal) digging and found out who the actual supplier was.The supplier sells direct for $17.95.Now, I could go on every seller/product page, seeking out sellers just to go off on a rant about how terrible amazon sellers are, how they are scammers advertising products they don't actually own for exorbitant prices, then once they get an order, buying direct and shipping themselves keeping $80 or whatever as profit. 

Can anyone recommend a similar supplier that delivers or has a warehouse on the south side of Houston closer to Friendswood?
