I personally don't drink these days; it makes me sleepy instead of feel good. Guess I'm getting old. My question for you that may know is: My fishing partner got a DWI about a year ago, first one and he went through community service, set in on a few dozen meetings and has a parole officer. He paid out the wazoo and will never do that again. You can't afford it.
His license came up for renew and he sat for two hours to get up to the booth and was told he had to pay $1000 a year for three years to get a renewal. I asked him, pay who? He didn't know or his parole officer, by the way these people are bottom feeders anyway.
They called it a surcharge. Anybody heard of that? He can't drive or get a fishing license according to TX Dot until it's paid and doesn't have the money. Bummer
