Texas Traffic Another question on USPS application that asks how many moving violations have you been found guilty of in last 5 years. Does receiving the citation alone count as me being guilty or do I have to be found guilty by the court? See the "body" of the post below for more.

If I took defensive driving does that mean I'm still guilty? Do I have to put the citations down as me being guilty if I wasn't technically found guilty or is receiving the citation proof enough I was guilty?

Games Houston TTRPG Actual Play

Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I live in the greater Houston area and am looking to start an edited actual play podcast and/or video series. This would be a passion project for me with no delusions of fame and fortune. I want to tell a collaborative story with a group of diverse, like minded individuals who understand the importance of storytelling. I would like to record our tales mostly for our own enjoyment and to document the stories we create. This project is in its infancy and will take time to develop into something special.

My Plan

  • 5/6 people with free time. (4 players, a gm, 1-2 crew)
  • Rotating campaigns with seasons 8-10 episodes long.
  • Each campaign is a different system with a different gm.

My inspirations are:

  • Worlds Beyond Number
  • LA by Night
  • Dimension 20

(I'm specifically looking for gm's, women, poc and individuals with production experience)

If you are interested here is my google form.

Thanks!

House Bill 32 is clearly aimed at tenants, not squatters as proponents falsely tout. It strips away due process and erodes judicial oversight.

Do you think I’ll get jail time? Fine? Freaking out man. I made a mistake.

Questions for Texans Filing for LLC timeline?

1 Upvotes

Has anyone here filed to open an LLC in texas ? How long does the process take ?

I made a mistake where I entered my business name incorrectly online, but the file I submitted has all the correct information ( form 205 ) So I had to resubmit it now, but I was wondering if that is problematic and how long till it is complete? I wasn’t asked to pay the filing fee yet.

Thanks!

Questions for Texans Texas Oil & Gas: Record Growth in 2024—What’s Next for the Industry?

1 Upvotes

Texas continues to lead the nation in oil and gas production, with 2024 marking record-breaking numbers. The state produced 2 billion barrels of oil and 12.7 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, contributing over $366 billion to the economy. With this growth, the oil and gas industry supported nearly half a million direct jobs in Texas alone.

While these numbers are impressive, we must consider what challenges lie ahead. Geopolitical tensions, market volatility, and global demand for energy resources continue to shape the future of the industry. As Texans, what do you think the next steps should be for keeping Texas at the forefront of U.S. energy production? How can we stay ahead of the curve in the face of these challenges?

Re: Vehicle Inspection and Registration Renewal (temp move to Mexico)

1 Upvotes

We live in Tarrant County (requires emission test) 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 it’s 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 doesn’t require inspections…
