How expensive is it to upgrade a Texas emission system to meet California's stricter emission code?

Question

We want to purchase a car here using a $3000 Texas voucher (and adding some $ to that) to buy a car for my son. He will be driving it to California to start a new job there. The car we purchase in Texas will have to be a 2005 or newer. Does anyone know approx. how much it will cost to upgrade it to California standards. Also do we have to pay "sales tax" when we transfer the title over to a California title....how expensive will that be. Just trying to figure out what the best course of action will be. Thanks for any tips.
