Dodge Durango Paid Registration over 60 Days Late

I own a 1999 Dodge Durango and paid the registration renewal over 60 days late. Due to a financial hardship and not receiving my renewal notice, I was forced to pay my registration fees late (about 90 days instead of less than 60).

My Dodge Durango failed the smog check due to a check engine light with a 0420 code which according to my research could be an oxygen sensor or a bad catalytic converter. My problem is I do not have the money to repair the truck in order to pass the smog inspection and because I paid so late I am not eligible for the CAP program. Is there a way around this?
