Green Card is not valid ID in the State of Texas

[Obama 2012 1,714]

suck it up and get a state DL or ID card. Plain and simple.

OR you can choose not to patron establishments that prefer you use a state ID.

It is at their discretion after all.

i am coming down for the race this weekend & i am bringing a bang load of beer back home. come to think of it, i'm in the dfw metroplex regularly. you might be on to something hidden within us.

back to topic. that is pretty nutty they won't accept a federal id. good luck

that would explain that funky odor i seem to smell sometimes on the highway!

Dude, read my post. She had a Texas ID. it was the first thing I did when she got here. DPS took it away when she failed her driving test.

DPS doesn't take away an issued state ID when you fail a 'driving test.'

They won't let you get a DL OR they might take away a 'driving permit,' but a state issued ID is completely different.

Hmm. I sat there and watched them take it. A state issued ID card. Watched it with my own eyes. They gave her some "receipt" which looked like a temp ID card, which of course is useless as you should know living in Texas since it has no photo on it.

To clarify, it was a written test, not the driving test. Not sure if that matters.

All that bull$hit aside, why shouldn't the state of Texas consider an I-551 (green card) a valid ID. The thing has about as much security (maybe more) as a US passport? Obviously much more than a Texas ID.

You're new here, aren't you?

Paul is never wrong.

Eventually, you will learn.

Actually I'm really not new here at all. Don't look at my post count. I've been around along time.

Rob and Mel and Paul and Vanessa should get a room at some point with all the hostilities between those two. I bet if you locked them up in a hotel room with a couple fifths of whiskey, they'd have it all figured out.

It is entertaining though.

I suspect they'd end up spooning.

Who? Rob and Paul?

[Bad_Daddy 2,209]

I suspect they'd end up spooning.

And after that they would probably end up moving to Vermont so they could get married legal like.

Yeah I've used non-state forms of ID in Texas w/out problems. You may want to go to a business that has more intelligent employees.

Might be hard to find the empties later, but that is just how they roll.

I should have posted this in "Moving here and your new life" It's a quandry though. Post it here you'll get responses. Although half of them will be why it's Bush's or Obama's fault. Post in Moving here and your new life, and no one would ever look at it.

Oh well. We'll get it figured out. Just thought it would be nice if while I'm filling the car up, she could go inside and get some beer with no BS. Apparently that's not an option in Texas until she gets ANOTHER ID card, or her drivers license.

Just seems really ignorant to me they wont accept an official US govt issued ID to buy beer. What if some redneck cop in BFE Texas wont take it? Or Arizona? Will she be deported?

Texan's have never been known for their intelligence.

it's texans, not texan's
