I don't vaccinate my cats for rabies. My former vet (he retired but
shows up when someone is on vacation), who I love dearly, said one
day about ten years ago, "We'll both know when there is some sort of
rabies outbreak occurs so don't worry about it."

Grab the vets by the shirt collar, look them in the eye and make
sure they hear you when you tell them they have already been
vaccinated!

won't treat
anyone without PROOF of rabies vaccination.
in certain states--and i think texas is one--all the s/n pages
said that
dogs and cats WOULD be vaccinated if proof wasn't supplied.
(but southern states tended, in the past, to have more actual
rabies than
some others, too....)
