Ok, for the ones that don't know me: I am a 61 yr old, pure bred, 6th gen Texan. In fact we were here in 1837, not that it matters to the story. Been told I sound like Hank Hill just to give you a visual/auditory image of how this went down:
WTH America???
So after waiting 3 weeks for my appointment (yes you have to have an appointment) to renew my, now expired, drivers license a funny /not so funny thing happens. I enter my phone number in the sign in computer, it says who I am and where I live, I confirm. Take my number to get in line. DPS employee gives me the form to fill out. I say "Thanks" and begin. They ask for my birth certificate or passport. I inform them I don't have them. Not the answer they wanted, I have my CHL, SS card, drivers license, Credit cards, hunting license, etc "but not your birth cert or passport?" No, ma'am, I replied. She then went to their computer with my license, returns and tells me I am not in their system. WHAT??? I have all these State issued credentials? She said, and I quote " we can't prove you are a citizen" !?!? I, FAIRLY calmly said "You're SH******
me!
I took my card, that THEY issued me for identification, left the building and have been wondering where the hell am I living now?
I want to seek asylum to somewhere that has common sense. Any ideas?
