Texas is funny. I see people driving cars with cracked windshield and cops don't pull them over. In Florida, there's zero tolerance for that and you will get a ticket. Illegal tints are not really focused on unless they need an excuse to pull you over.

So, if I tell the officer I'm visiting my girlfriend can he ask for work numbers or pull up my residence on his computer?
I'm surprised your work doesn't make you switch to Texas policy since you drive a lot for work.

They just wanted to see that I had a clean driving history. They didn't know about the dead bodies in Atlanta or the keys I've sold in the Bahamas. J/K.

They normally ask "is this your current address?" when you had them you license. But things that will show them will be like driving a Texas car with an Florida DL. That kind would look fishy.

The odds them catching you is very slim. But I did want you to know that there was a law that they can enforce that relates to your INS question.

My poor attempt to quote a Biggie line. Sorry I forgot how the line went.

Well, the sooner you take care of that stuff then the less you have to worry is what everyone is saying.

YES! I'm trying to figure out a way to buy a home in the next year. I already paid the $75 for 2 renewl registrations and 1 new DL. Just so that I could avoid getting rid of the illegal tint and emission testing. This will buy me at least another 6 months. Hopefully I can get the insurance transferred over without incident and will be 100% Texan by the end of the year. All this talk about it--probably get pulled over on my way home tonight.
