You, and/or your lawyer could file a suit but you would not have basis. Thus your case would get tossed. I agree you are being wronged in that the State is not "Shall Issuing" however you are not suffering damages, nor are you the oversight for the DPS. Unfortunately the only people with appropriate basis to are the Executive and Legislative Branches, and they are doing very little as they are not in session.HGWC wrote:It's a matter of the agency doing their job that is defined by the legislature and state law. Both the legislative and judicial branches of the government also have responsibility for oversight of the DPS. The legislature has tried and failed with the specific laws in question. A lawyer and legal action in the courts is a reasonable course of action in this case.KaiserB wrote:And what would the lawyer do?
You are talking about the area of enforcing DPS to perform their jobs. The oversight for DPS currently resides with the executive branch in TX. So unless you lawyer is Rick Perry, or the Lt. Gov. you are probably just tossing money down a hole.
Just plan on 100 days, and do not trust any information you receive via the telephone from DPS. Just written correspondence.
