Also, when you get a TX license, they register you automatically. I'm not sure if they do it if you have a license from when you're 16 or 17, but when you transfer from out of state, it's automatic.

You have to renew your license every year until you are 18 anyways.

GG on the info :thumb:
I dont turn 18 until 11/28, so sticky this for another 4+ years?

now if every one would stop thinking that democrat or republican is the only way to go we might be more productive in this era. :-/
to bad it wouldn't matter if a third party was in because the senate and congress would hand cuff him/her. BTW it's not a wasted vote to vote who you think is better regardless of the party major or minor why settle. :kissmyass

don't ever say anything like this in any forum - just saying that someone is a piece of shit, especially in an imformative thread (non-partisan)

enjoy a day off

I have a suggestion, maybe we should change the name of this forum from politics to something else, since more than just politics is involved, such as religion and the likes..
