Is there a mercedes me9.7 / med17 ecu clone shop in Houston I should use instead?

Does Texas vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
Texas requires an annual safety inspection program statewide, with OBD-II emissions testing in 17 metro counties. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all Texas and federal requirements.
Why do ME9.7 ECUs fail so often?
On many M272/M273 cars the ME9.7 is mounted on the hot intake manifold, so it cooks and vibrates, causing internal failures - intermittent comms loss, misfires traced to the ECU, or a crank/no-start.
Does the donor ECU need to match exactly?
It should be the same Bosch family and a compatible part number. Send clear photos of both labels and the VIN and we confirm the donor is a valid clone target before writing.
