The law in the State of Texas says……….

……………You gotta have a front license plate on your vehicle.

That’s all fine and dandy but they are making it difficult to abide by the law.  I called TXDOT today because I need replacement plates for my vehicle.  I have personalized plates and I know there is a fee to have them replaced.  The car wash damn near tore off my front license plate so I want a shiny new one with no defects.  Is that so much to ask.  Apparently so.

They told me that I have to pay for the plates since they don’t qualify for free replacement.  Fine.  I already know that and have already had to do this once before.  Last time I did it I made a phone call, they ordered the plates, I went to pick them up and paid the measly $5.35 fee to get them.  Now they tell me I have to drive all the way over to the tag office (at $4.00+ a gallon fuel and 15 mpg) to pay the fee, THEN AND ONLY THEN will they order my replacement plates which means (Yep, you guessed it) I have to drive back out there again (at probably $5.00 a gallon fuel by the time they get here) and pick them up.  Re - Tard - Ed.

So - guess what I told her.  “I’ll just have to run without a front plate and when I get pulled over by the Highway patrol for not having one I will tell him that the tag office refused to order my replacement plates”

What do ya think about that?
