You should have pictures.
If I hadn't shown up with a Birth Cert. I'm Not sure what would have happened.
I got a form in the mail tuesday saying I could renew by internet,phone or mail.
Cool. I go onto the internet last Tuesday evening and type in what they ask for.
NO !! You are ineligable !
Tried it several more times.I mean,they sent this to me and now I cannot.
Called the phone number and punched in the info again.
NO !!! You are ineligable !
Did it several more times. Nope !
So I call another number on the form to talk to a live person. He says to "call the DPS ,they must want something."
I call Wednesday morning,8 am.
Person #1 - Looked over my driving records several times and kept saying how she couldn't see anything wrong.
Then after about 10 minutes and her putting me on hold a couple of times to ask for help....SHE FINDS IT.
"YOU'RE LISTED AS A NON-CITIZEN"
I was a little surprised.
She says "You don't sound like a Non-Citizen".
I told her thanks.
She passes me off to Person #2 .
#2 doesn't have a clue about #1 and my last 15 minutes discussion...so I get to tell my story again.
She is able to go back to when I was 14 years old,45 years ago,and see when I first got my license.Motorcycle Only.
She sees I haven't had so much as a parking ticket in almost 25 years.
Says we need more drivers in Texas like you.I tell her thanks,so how about renewing my license then.
She also sees that I have a CHL and confirms you have to be a U.S. Citizen to start with.
Says she can't help,I need to bring in a Birth Cert. and prove I'm a citizen.
#2 passes me on to #3
Get to retell the same Dam* story for the third time !
It gets to the point very quickly that she has as much use for me as I do for her.
" If you want your license renewed you have to drag your Non-Citizen a$$ into the DPS Office and prove you aren't a Non-Citizen."
The discussion started to quickly accelerate downhill.
I dragged my "Non-Citizen a$$ into the DPS" with my Birth Cert..
I have already posted my discussion with Ms. Garcia.
