They've thought of that. We can give FELV and FVRCP vaccines, but rabies shots must be administerd by a veterinarian (not even a vet tech...a veterinarian licensed to practice in the state of TX) or they don't count. I also cannot legally place a cat over the age of 3 months without a valid rabies shot. So even when rescues xfer cats among each other they have to take the cat to the vet for a rabies shot first.

"I don't think the law requires the vet to give it. The pet is required to have it regardless, which would make the responsibility fall on me." In that case, order the vaccine online, pull it up into a syringe, and squirt it down the toilet, and call the cat "vaccinated". No-one can say you DIDN'T give it to the cat! You have the sales receipt to "prove" you bought it (you can even save the bottle and the packaging)! I think http://jefferspet.com still sells rabies vaccines.
