Is this legal?

I have surcharges from, 2006.
They tried to deny me,my ID, as well.

I set up the $11 a month payment plan,and after 72 hours, they released the hold and I got my ID.

They won't however let me have a new license until I pay them off. Originally Posted by nikkivikkisix

I am thincking about filing a discrimination lawsuit against the State of Texas for denying me the right to a TDL. I am an excellent driver. I do not owe the State or any other LE agency a dime.

Can you be denied a ID? Not a TDL, but an ID?

I have lots of surcharges that DPS has now linked to my state ID as well, so when it expired and I went to renew it, I was denied because of my surcharges. I understand no TDL, but my ID? I have no good ID. Is this legal? Don't I as an adult have to be allowed to get a vaild ID?

2ed question, if I drive to another state to get an ID & TDL, do all my Texas troubles stay in Texas. Is it as easy as checking into a Marriott for a few days, using that as my address, then letting them know I'll be getting some mail and asking them can they please send it to Texas once it arrives?


* Just for full disclosure. I am not paying my surcharges, I have been getting them reduced for years, but they are still over 2k and you can only get them reduced every 6 months I believe. Originally Posted by Brooke Wilde
