Received default statement 8/15/17 saying we failed to comply to a previous notice. When did the notice go out? If you're going to rip off hard working Texans, please be transparent and don't hide behind red tape. If it's a three year program, a notice needs to go out all 3 years before notifying someone after they're licence is already suspended. This is year 2 on a three year program and no mention of year 2 of 3 or that there's another year left. A true transparent government, unless they know they're scamming and ripping you off, should notify before they suspend your right to drive.

That being said, I paid my insurance, fines/ticket, and thought the matter was solved. WRONG!! I later received a surcharge notice in the mail, to the tune of $250 a year for three years. Paying my regular monthly bills..rent, gas, groceries, was trouble enough to keep up with. Let alone paying for the same mistake twice. Since then, I have been pulled over multiple times. Most of which I was either coming or going to work. But because I live in a small town, where the police get to know the vehicles. I was 'what I call...."Harrassed". Needless to say, I now supposedly owe the state thousands of dollars. I have spent time in jail, multiple times. And paid thousands in fines, tickets, and court costs already. I cant even apply for the job openings ive been waiting for, because I need a 'valid drivers license'. The Texas surcharge program is absolutly ruining my life, And for what!? Because a bunch of rich S.O.B. politicians want to line their already fat wallets. I for one flat out refuse to pay them another dime!!
