Amazing isn't it? Go ahead and write all the state reps, senators or anyone else you want, and you will come to the same conclussion as I. NOBODY CARES!
I take that back. DEDE KEITH CARES! or so she says. I had a response from the Governors office in the mail today. Thanks me for contacting the Governor, and understands my Concerns. States she has contacted Colonel Stan Clark, Director of Texas DPS on my behalf, and requests his assistance in reviewing and responding both to myself and the Governors office on the Information I submitted. I'm gonna start holding my breathe now. Bet I'm really blue before my status changes. I'll let ya know.
