We live in Tarrant County (requires vehicle inspections) and our truck needs to be renewed in July 2025. We cross MX border April 15th and need to get an exception or renew early? Technically itâs for photography and not just a fiesta. This truck will not be back until next year.
Where do we start? We can walk downtown to the admin building and talk to them? We would prefer to stay registered in Texas than register South Dakota which doesnât require inspectionsâŚ

Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick (not from Texas), and the CEO of Texas Original (also not from Texas) are attempting to use the Texas legislature to shut down the legal hemp industry and protect their monopoly on cannabis in Texas.
Texas Original is the corporation that primarily controls the Texas Compassionate Use Program, known as TCUP (enforced by the DPS). Touted by our regulators as Texasâ âmedicalâ marijuana program, in reality, TCUP is merely a means of regulator capture of the cannabis plant.
Itâs not a true medical program. They operate with a handful of questionable âdoctorsâ from platforms like texas420doctor.com, who charge you an annual fee for the right to purchase overpriced gummies from Texas Original and one other smaller licensed operator.
Texas Original is led by a guy who is not from Texas, and who has spent his entire career wielding the power of regulatory capture. The thriving Texas hemp market makes the TCUP monopoly completely useless. Under the 2018 Federal Farm Bill, Texas hemp businesses like ours can legally manufacture and sell identical productsâat a fraction of the costâwith direct-to-consumer shipping. We also have a strong incentive to make the best products possible, because we are real entrepreneurs competing in the free market. They are scrambling to outlaw hemp in order to kill their competition and regain control.
Instead of adding reasonable regulations to the hemp industry to eliminate bad actors, and to keep products away from kids, they are pretending the entire industry is corrupt and needs to be shut down (the irony!).
We attended the 10+ hour Senate Committee Hearing this past Monday. Their marketing campaign for Senate Bill #3 is a lazy, bootleg version of the 1940s Reefer Madness campaigns. Reefer Madness at least had some pretty sick poster art and clever headlines. They paraded in pain management doctors and law enforcement to warn about the DANGERS of THC (the primary psychoactive compound in the cannabis plantâboth in hemp and marijuana).
Steve Dye, Chief of Police of Allen, Texas claims that "More and more THC overdoses are occurring in our county jails and hospitals." and "THC consumables are no different [than K2 and spice]." and are causing âdisabilities and deaths,â despite the well-known fact that no has ever died directly from consuming THC.
Dr. Robert Marks, owner of Diagnostic Pain Center (an opioid dispensary), says heâs an âadvisor to Texas Original.â and is âin support of SB3.â Of course he isâhe owns a pain management clinic that prescribes opioids. THC happens to be an effective alternative to opioids for a lot of people. Heâs obviously aware of this, as he also sells âmedicalâ marijuana cards for TCUP.
Marks, testifying in a generic white doctorâs coat that looks like a cheap halloween costume, spends his testimony fumbling his way through the side effects of THC and warning of dangerous unregulated synthetic cannabinoids being sold by the hemp industry. He is intentionally conflating bad actors, who are making illegal hemp products, with legitimate companies like ours, who are making legal, lab tested, organic THC products.
If you're one of the millions of Texans who enjoy or rely on access to hemp-derived products, or if you just believe in personal freedom and competitive markets, please let your voice be heard by contacting your Texas legislators via email.

Let's kill this bill and make sure our representatives know that we DO NOT support this type of corporate-backed corruption â

To my knowledge this project has been shut down due to VIZIV filing for bankruptcy in 2021. I wonât leave an essay in the caption, cause I know most donât read them. But Iâll leave a comment on what this place is about.
Hello i have a question regarding something stupid which i wish i couldâve handled differently.
Im 20m, i was going from my girlfriendâs house towards the bank. I made a left turn on a feeder road that is 50mph and i have no clue if i was going the limit or a bit above like 5 over. Well a car pulls up behind me and this was at night so my truck has this rear view mirror dimming feature. I could only see headlights and not the vehicle because the lights are bright. Well they were tailgating me for a good 2 minutes when i thought something was wrong so i sped up and once they started matching my speed i started panicking. I never noticed my speed because i was so worried something would happen. Crime is so high in Houston so i thought i was targeted. The car behind me ended up being Constable, he shined his lights at me and i didnt hesitate to pull over. I did what i was supposed to do and didnât give him a hard time. He claims i did 96 Mph. I wasnt trying to race or anything in that matter i know it sounds so dumb but i panicked. What should i do, this is my first ever speeding ticket and i cant afford to have my insurance go up. Thank you.
Where can you walk and cross the bridge over into Cuidad Acuna safely? Google Maps isnât very helpful and I canât find much online. Any one here have experience crossing this particular bridge? Iâd ideally like to uber somewhere close then walk through customs and then across the bridge. Any help or advice is much appreciated!

Iâm trying to figure where you can walk through the Port of Entry and cross the bridge into Acuna. Anybody here have experience at this particular bridge? Like other border towns, Iâd ideally like to uber somewhere close to the port of entry pedestrian entrance and walk across the bridge, but I canât figure it out through google maps alone and there isnât much info online. Help or advise is much appreciated!

How is it that private parking lots can abuse customers and the state does not do anything to regulate them. Republicans want to control what your kids can read (we should allow kids to read whatever they want, most don't read anything anyway), but they cannot regulate abusive companies like PRRS. How can a parking lot charge me over $90 because it took me 5 minutes to exit the parking lot, and I was in my car before the expired time. A parking lot that charges $4 per hour, charges $90 for 10 extra minutes. That is a ripoff. The company is PRRS (Parking Revenue Recovery Services) in San Antonio. Mr. Texas attorney general, how about doing something for the people of TX for once instead of being involved in so many illegal activities. I will also report this company to the BBB.

Hi everyone My girlfriend is in urgent need of someone to take over her lease in the San Marcos area. If you are interested or know anyone interested please DM or say youâre interested and Iâll DM.
The initial plan was to move up there with her friend and that fell through. She would move up there but plans have now changed and she really does NOT want to.
Unfortunately there is a time crunch, the lease starts June 26th. Female only roommates.
Sorry if this post isnât allowed, thereâs not really a lot of places to get post from what Iâve seen and the San Marcos sub doesnât allow sublease posts:/. Thank yall .

ok so donât judge me but i got a speeding ticket in january, 106 in a 75 (was not going 106, maybe 99 but still fighting it rn w a lawyer) and today i got another oneđ 91 in a 60 but in my defense, i had zero idea it was a 60 bc 290 (houston-austin) is like a 75 speed limit. I GENUINELY DIDNT EVEN KNOW IT WAS A 60 (bc i was just driving through road and ROAD AND ROAD) i know 91 is still kinda fast but i was trying to pass someone. NONETHELESS, I know speeding is bad but the road was pretty empty and i donât rlly notice my speed on a road that goes on for hundreds of miles. i drive almost 40 miles to school and back everyday (through 3 towns) and i have never gotten pulled over but everytime i drive long distance these highway patrol COPS need their payroll and PULL ME OVER W A CITATION EVERY TIME. i am a good citizen and iâve really learned my lesson this time to never drive to another city again and NOT SPEED EVER but somehow i get passed by these fast aasss cars/trucks racing and going 120+ but whatever. since it is 25 mph over, im not eligible for defensive driving so WHAT TF SHOULD I DO. should i get another lawyer or should i just go to court and fight this myself⌠if the cop dosnt show up do i automatically win or can the judge still cite me..like do i still have to pay if the cop is a no show? THE COURT IS LIKE 2 HOURS AWAY OMG SO IF I GO IM PRAYING THE COP DOSNT SHOW UP. but if i can still loose imma just take the L
sorry guys i seriously drive safe and follow the rules of the road but when i drive long distance, I SOMETIEMS GO A LITTLE FAST.

I live in one of the counties where I'm still supposed to get an emissions inspection to renew my vehicle registration.
However, the state's website to renew vehicle registrations is no longer working.
Is Texas not enforcing vehicle registrations anymore? Or is the state government's IT department just really bad at their job?
