A little white card in the mail….crud….can’t renew the driver’s license online.  They want to see my social security card.  Last time I saw that card was in high school.  I have never held down a real job and thus never had to produce it.  After digging through piles of boxes, I actually found the card my social security card was attached to…hmmm…wonder if that’ll be good enough.  I went down to the DPS main office to renew the driver’s license and it looked like people were waiting in line for tickets to the Texas-Ohio State game (anyone got any to share?)…crap…looked like a several hour wait.

Here’s a clue…If you need to get your Driver’s License renewed and can’t do it by mail or online I’d highly recommend going to an alternate office such as the one on 1500 Congress (near the Capitol) between 2:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.  I was told by the Sergeant that’s a slow time.  At peak time (lunch) I waited 15 minutes.  There’s parking out front (take quarters). \  Oh yeah take cash/check they don’t take credit cards.  You can find alternate offices where you can renew your driver’s license at the DPS website.

Whew!  Legal again.
