Re: DPS needs more info

Great news! I'm glad it worked out for your wife. :clapping: INS used to accept expired passports as proof of identity and employment authorization for an I-9 but now they require unexpired documents, so I wasn't sure which way DPS would go. It's nice to hear DPS was reasonable about it, especially ...

It might be worth something to a collector. Or keep it yourself as a curio.

Re: Can You Shoot to Protect Property in TEXAS

I understand that, that you can shoot them if your property if in no way able to be recovered in which practically anything can be recovered/replaced The law says recover, not replace. Insurance may replace property but that's not the same as recovering or protecting it, and any cop can tell you ab...

Re: My problem with the term – “Give Back”

In my experience, it's simple. If someone says they want to "give back" there's a good chance they mean it the way TAM says. If someone says someone else should "give back" there's a 93% probability they're socialist and a 57% probability their soul is driven by Greed, Envy and m...

My personal belief is that because the charges are an ever evolving random set of things thrown out there to se...
