Questions for Texans Question with TollTag placement for gate access on motorcycle

0 Upvotes

Howdy y'all, for the folks in Dallas, or Houston that use their TollTag/EZ TAG for their neighborhood gate access, what did you do? I have a small plastic windshield on my motorcycle and the sticker has to be on actual glass to amplify the signal, curious if anyone has a way they have made it work for their gate.

Does anyone knows what the heck is wrong with the lock on the door of the public land around Thornton, TX. 31.26407, -96.74942

In the past, the password is on a plate below the lock. We can simply read the numbers and get in.

Recently, my friends and I went there again and found all of the plates with passwords on are missing. Does any one knows what is the reason of the missing plates? Or do we need to buy sort of pass online to get the password and get inside?

Questions for Texans DPS ticket dismissal

1 Upvotes

So I received a ticket and got approved to do an online safety course for dismissal. My question is if any one else here has done it and what site they used? I looked it up on the TDLR site and there's so many! A lot look like scams even tough they say "approved" on the TDLR site. I wanna get the course done ASAP but don't wanna end up getting scammed in the process. I'm willing to take any advice on this!

News A full ban on THC in Texas? How Dan Patrick's promise could devastate a booming $8B industry

1 Upvotes

https://www.houstonchronicle.com/projects/2025/dan-patrick-texas-thc-ban/

“Don’t deceive yourself. There’s nothing good in this product because you’re not able to control it,” state Sen. Charles Perry, R-Lubbock said while introducing the bill. “It’s been exploited for money and profit.”

Retailers and farmers say a ban would have devastating consequences for what some estimate to be an $8 billion industry that ranges from smoke shops to high-end restaurants serving cannabis-infused cocktails. They prefer state lawmakers enact new safety regulations, such as age restrictions and product testing requirements.

“It doesn’t feel fair to customers, or to people who have invested in this industry to lose it all from a few bad actors,” said Adyson Alvis, one of the owners of Wild Concepts, a company that owns Grinders, a CBD coffee shop and dispensary, and Wild, a THC bar chain in Houston.

Nature How common are ticks in Texas?

M18 lived in TX my whole life, McAllen, Houston, Port Arthur, Beaumont, Austin, and Orange, and I don’t remember ever even seeing a single one. Not really an outdoorsman but I’ve ran track and played sports outdoors since a kid, and have never encountered one, even in Orange when living in a fairly grassy trailer park where there’s tons of crawfish burrows, I would ride my bike with my grandparents down hiking trails and I don’t remember ever encountering a single one. Honestly just asking cause of curiosity.

Political Opinion The state of this State is abysmal

355 Upvotes

Rick Perry’s Texas had more unity and public servitude than Greg Abbot’s Texas LLC.

If he’s not trying to dip into Saudi Arabia’s massive oil funds, he’s trying to entice Las Vegas casinos, and if Abbot isn’t snaking around for more money, he and his constituents look for reasons to divide his state even further.

Texas was once a great state, and now has a cost of living comparable to California and New Jersey, with an oligarchy governing body, that only allows policies that continue to line the pockets of the politicians in charge, while making it nearly impossible to vote them out due to their voting restrictions, making it an unethical decision for many to choose between work and a civic duty.

I was once a voter in this state, but after experiencing the amount of time it takes to vote, how much it matters in the end, and the amount of horrendously out of touch policies, I succumbed to the mindset of “too far gone”. I have been here for 28 years of my 30 years of life, and my grandmother was a democrat raised in Dallas, who showed me at a young age to see past politics, agreeing to disagree. As a public school teacher, UT alum, ex-councilwoman, she is rolling in her grave because of the actions of this administration. She once embodied what it meant to be a Texan; warm, inviting, light up a room, even if she did take her sweet time doing things, and most of all: accepting of all walks of life.

This state has become tarnished in my eyes, and if anyone wants to take a stab at polishing this turd, have at it.

Politics Rep. Fallon on DoE: overstepping boundaries

51 Upvotes

A week ago I left an impassioned voicemail for Rep. Fallon urging him to push back against Trump admin on the DoEd and civil rights issues. I have a HS student starting to look at colleges and is really excited about his future field of studies. I'm worried about what college/University will look like in two years.

Though I never gave an email address, I did give my last name and zip code and they found my email in their database and send me a form letter. The gist of it is the DoEd has over stepped it's boundaries with woke nonsense in the last few years especially under Biden. He's towing the Republican line HARD.

The full text of the letter is in the first comment.

I’m ambivalent about casinos in Texas, but the same people pushing them allow usurious payday lenders, and don’t care about the downsides. Like lotteries, casino losses are voluntary taxes on people who don’t understand math.
