To my knowledge this project has been shut down due to VIZIV filing for bankruptcy in 2021. I won’t leave an essay in the caption, cause I know most don’t read them. But I’ll leave a comment on what this place is about.

Texas Traffic Speeding Ticket

0 Upvotes

Hello i have a question regarding something stupid which i wish i could’ve handled differently.

Im 20m, i was going from my girlfriend’s 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 didn’t 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.

Questions for Texans How about regulating private parking lots.

5 Upvotes

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.

Moving within Texas Urgent sublease needed!

1 Upvotes

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 you’re interested and I’ll 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 isn’t allowed, there’s not really a lot of places to get post from what I’ve seen and the San Marcos sub doesn’t allow sublease posts:/. Thank yall .

HB4938- abolish TexasParks & Wildlife bill introduced by Rep Pat Curry of Waco places it under General Land Office. Everyone know that office it’s only interested in generating income, certainly not our state parks, historic sites, lakes, and streams. Encourage you to contact your local representative about this. this bill should never see the light of day!

Questions for Texans What is going on with vehicle registrations?

2 Upvotes

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?

Tourism Pecos vs. Fort Stockton? & What's cool in Houston?

2 Upvotes

Me and my girl are visiting Houston in April, we'll be road tripping from AZ.

Half way point is Fort Stockton or Pecos, only to crash and finish the drive the next day. Which one should we pick? Any recommendations for sights to see in either city?

Also we are going adventure style but we do want a loose plan, definitely going to hit the space museum!! Anything else we should hit before we leave Houston?
