A very welcome letter arrived today, it began: Dear xx, The State of Texas has repealed the Driver Responsibility program, effective September 1, 2019.
Well, my reply to that is: Woohoo!! Woohoo!! Happy days are here, again! Ding, dong, the witch is dead!! I have been writing about this issue for the past two years, and I am glad to see this law ditched.
I have been helping an individual get through this awful program. This person has paid $1,300 in surcharge fines, uncertain which tickets were being paid on, because this was not stated on the billing, and was not provided by the billing company when the information was requested. We believe it was for two tickets issued for not providing evidence of vehicle insurance, incurred in 2009 or before.
The final year of surcharges was to begin in September, another $260, and, thankfully, will not have to be paid. The balance is now $0.00.
I am grateful to the authors of Texas House Bill 2048 and all who voted for it.
