Re: Driver Surcharge-Texas Transportation Code Ch.708

More | Report Post

I was a victim by-product of this screwed up law. I had my
driver's license supspended unbeknownst to me because I wasn't
informed that I even owed $ on this surcharge and then I got
pulled over by an officer for what would have been a speeding
ticket and instead got taken down to county jail and am still
hiring lawyers and trying to resolve it. All for a $250 fine I
didn't know I owed.

Basic story here:

I've also linked to a response on this site here:

Please feel free to link to any of my blog comments on this
subject. I feel royaly screwed and have contact my Senator on
this with little more than a brief sympathetic ear.
