Seal of Brazoria County, "Where Texas Began"
This is a true story. None of the facts have been changed, because of the stupity of the situation.
Recently while on vacation, I was ticketed for no insurance. It was in a car I rarely drive, and the ticket was promptly placed into the glove box and forgotten. Until this weekend.
I received a call from the Brazoria County Sherrif's office informing me of a warrant for my arrest for non-payment of the ticket. As it turns out, I just needed to show them my insurance card, which was not in the car, because I only drive that 4-wheel drive to the coast. Which also explains why I never saw it again. It hasn't moved since we returned from the coast.
So this morning, I attempted to fax my insurance card to the Sherriff's Department to resolve the issue. I faxed it and called. Not there. An hour later, i faxed it again. Not there.
At the risk of sounding like an ass, I requested that the clerk verify the fax machine had paper in it. It did. However, the toner cartridge is out. She didn't know how to change it, and even she did, she didn't know where they were kept. No shitting.
Our resolution, tomorrow, the "city lady" will be in (she only works a half day, no shitting) and she know how to change the toner cartridge. She will then print the fax, adjust the ticket, and see if I owe anything at that point. In the meantime, I should "try to not get stopped" or I might go to jail.
No shitting.
Two of Brazoria County's Finest, not the one who gave me the ticket
