Never Boring Here

Can you guess where I spent my morning?

I spent it sitting at the jail waiting for Jason.

.

Long story short, about 2 years ago Jason failed to take a copy of his vehicle registration to the courthouse to get a ticket cleared. So they suspended his license. They didn't bother to send him any notification (I know, I get his mail). He got pulled over a while back and was ticketed for driving with a suspended license. I was shocked to learn that the entire time we lived in Texas he had been driving with a suspended license and he never got pulled over.

.

For Christmas he got his fees paid and his license reinstatement fee paid. I paid the reinstatement fee online and it still didn't show his license was reinstated. Because it wasn't coming up right we went to the DMV in December. We told the folks at the DMV that his license wasn't showing up right online. They said it was fine. I reiterated that online it said he had to do something else to get his license back. We wanted to know what it was. We thought he had to reapply for a new one. She looked on the computer and stated that we had paid all the fees and his license was fine. She handed him back his license.

.

Well, around midnight last night I received a call from Jason. He had been pulled over and they were taking him to jail because HE DIDN'T HAVE A LICENSE. He was driving without a license and they automatically take you to jail for that. The officer was nice and let my husband and I go get his car instead of having it towed and having to pay a steep fee for that.

.

So, because the folks at the DMV didn't do their job Jason got to spend the night in the jail. I then got to spend most of my morning in jail waiting for his judge to come. They said the judge comes between 7:30 and 8 am....he showed up at 10:30. They released him and gave him a court date.

.

You can bet that our first stop on Tuesday will be the DMV.

I will add that Jason wants his story told, he gave me permission to post this.
