Is this legal?

[Guest123018-4]

I have a TDL but it expired about three years ago. I still use it at the notels with no issue.
I am thincking about filing a discrimination lawsuit against the State of Texas for denying me the right to a TDL. I am an excellent driver. I do not owe the State or any other LE agency a dime.

I have surcharges from, 2006.
They tried to deny me,my ID, as well.

I set up the $11 a month payment plan,and after 72 hours, they released the hold and I got my ID.

They won't however let me have a new license until I pay them off.

That's very helpful. I knew they offered a payment plan, but I did not realize they would release the hold while still making payments. This may be my best and cheapest option. Thanks.

Are you being serious here or did you forget to turn your sarcastic font on?

Yes to the last question

Can you be denied a ID? Not a TDL, but an ID?

I have lots of surcharges that DPS has now linked to my state ID as well, so when it expired and I went to renew it, I was denied because of my surcharges. I understand no TDL, but my ID? I have no good ID. Is this legal? Don't I as an adult have to be allowed to get a vaild ID?

2ed question, if I drive to another state to get an ID & TDL, do all my Texas troubles stay in Texas. Is it as easy as checking into a Marriott for a few days, using that as my address, then letting them know I'll be getting some mail and asking them can they please send it to Texas once it arrives?


* Just for full disclosure. I am not paying my surcharges, I have been getting them reduced for years, but they are still over 2k and you can only get them reduced every 6 months I believe.

They run your name all over the US I found out the hard way..

I don't know why I thought they were double that.

A passport is more than that

[Slitlikr]

A card is $55

A book is $135

[GlobeSpotter]
