Shodl have said DL OR SSN. I am not sure how much it happens any more, because I use a check card at stores, but it used to be fairly common a few years ago.gemini wrote:Wow.

As far as it being illegal to write down your information, I don't think it really is. However, legal or not, it is common practice by folks taking drivers license and SSN when you write a check.
information they can buy it off the internet. (I have a problem with this). But to write it on a check, have it hit the clearing house, micro phished or digitally copied, stored, and available to who knows how many opportunistic folks prone to ill gotten gains..... no.
I personally have not encountered a request for my SSN (to date). Is this becoming a common practice in certain areas of TX or out of state?

Re: State Fair
I just personally would be willing to show them the CHL but not hand it to them. If they request to record information, tell them you will present the ID's to a LEO. They usually have one or two around the entrances that were there for that function in the first place.Keith wrote:(1) So it seems the best thing to do if we want to carry is to try to get to the LEO asap before the gate person writes your info down. Also avoid East Entrance.
What about if they start to write info down you tell them they can have the CCL # but not your name and adress. Tell them that if something was to happen LEO can get all your info from the # and the person trying to steal your identity would have nothing with just a CCL #. What do ya think?
Im going tommarow so really trying to get this resolved. Im new here in Texas and would have no idea who to call.
