I was driving home to Austin from Forestburg after visiting a friend of mine for Halloween. Crested a hill doing about 80 and the trooper was waiting on the other side. I got lit up immediately and pulled to the side of the highway. Turned on the dome light, rolled down windows, killed the engine, a...

Moving today, application is processing. I have to send DPS a letter with my new address. Unfortunately I'm moving to a new county (Williamson to Travis). Guess this means I should expect an extra couple of months tacked onto the wait :cryin ... oh well, maybe I'll get it by Christmas!
