Wish I could give 0 stars. UNREASONABLE TOTAL JERKS!!!!…read moreI was at a party when I was 20 years old and my friend got too drunk to drive. I offered to drive him home since I hadn't been drinking. He threw an unopened 12 pack into the trunk and I drove his car for him. I was pulled over as I didn't dim my headlights to the oncoming police car (wasn't my car so I was unfamiliar with the floor mounted dimmer switch). I was pulled over immediately and the first thing the cop did (officer Bishop)...is try to tell me I was drunk. Once I passed all his BS tests and a breath analyzer (0.0 bac was my result) the jerk asked if there was any beer in the car. I WAS HONEST and told him there was an unopened 12 pack in the truck and guess what......Both myself and my friend were taken to Jail and car was towed. We spent the night in jail and both got tickets for "minor in Posession of Alcohol". Moral of the story.....Hats off to officer Savage and Officer Bishop......... Both of whom had no common sense approach and instead... Threw the book at us. Since then....I never volunteered to drive a friend home again who had had too much to drink. You set a good example Officer Bishop and officer Savage! Great Job in the Community!!!! Another total scam the UP cops ran for years......They wrote many of the HP high school students bookoos parking tickets due to the stupid 2 hour parking spaces all around the school. They since changed this after stealing money from many of the students/parents for many years. 1/2 of 1/2 of 1/2 star for the UP Police. They don't respect their citizens. Move to Highland Park where they respect the citizens that live there! BOO on University Park and and Big BOO for the University Park Police Department.

If you are here, it's probably not good. Hopefully it's something as benign as a traffic ticket, as…read moreit was for me. I must confess I've been here a few times since moving to Texas nearly 20 years, which luckily has not that often. While it seems easy to give a low rating, I've actually had (and observed) some good experiences here. For me it was a traffic ticket, that resulted in two options, probation or a driving course. Either would mean the ticket drops off my record. With the 90 day probation, I would need to pay the full ticket and court costs. With the driving course, I would actually save money, but it meant 6 hours of on-line training. An added benefit of the course is that (some) insurance companies will lower your rate. Only after I chose the education option did I learn my insurance company (Allstate) does not give a discount for taking the course. So now it sucks... No real benefit to suffer through an on-line class. So I dragged my feet and the deadline approached (you have about three months to complete the course). The deadline was less than a week away for me to complete the course. The first stop for course info is to find out who's approved. The list is at http://www.TEA.STATE.TX.US/DRIVE. Both course providers (Courses / Driving Safety / Locations: Online) and stats (Courses / Driving Safety / Driving Safety Course Completions) for the providers is listed. It's quite an extensive list, so I was going to use the stats to focus on the most popular. As I started to research the course providers, I hit a stumbling block. Texas requires that the certificate to be mailed to the student. This can take 5 to 10 business days, and since it's hard to tell where the certificate is mailed from, getting it in time may be a problem. Of course it can be over-nighted, but that's going to cost extra. So I decided I'm going back to court and see if I can switch to probation... So now I'm back in the court building... Sitting in courtroom 5, waiting for my turn with the judge. As I wait, I observe something that impressed me: A teenager is here for a curfew violation. He's ready to plead guilty, pay the ticket and move on. Here's where the judge does something cool. He tells the kid if he does that, he'll have a class C misdemeanor on his record, and then the judge does something very nice. He gives the kid advice on how not to have that black spot on his record (probation or teen court, each with its own pros and cons). I though that was seriously cool. So now it's my turn and it turns out that they don't usually let you switch from the course option to probation. Maybe it because I dressed nice (it's always good to show the court respect), or maybe the judges are actually pretty cool, but I did get it changed, paid my fine, and got out of there. Bottom line: Everyone in the building, from the guards, to the bailiff, to the judges, to the people working at the cashier counter were genuinely helpful. It sucks to be here, but play it cool and I think you'll be OK.

Yet it was something about the Fort Worth Chamber of Commerce that makes me feel so welcome that I keep returning back to it more often than the others. Located on the 9th floor of The Fort Worth Club building on Taylor St and in front of the Morningstar Oil & Gas building, the FWCC has a historic undergirding within the DFW area as well as being a highly relevant entity within Fort Worth. Every time I come in here to purchase business reference materials, I am treated as if I'm family from the staff of Betty Harvey, Christina G., and several others. Further, it seems as if the FWCC is always either hosting or sponsoring a local event. This chamber certainly stays busy! Individual yearly business memberships are comparable to that of other chambers in major cities: usually around $400-500. As for parking here, there is a heavy valet service presence in the front of The Fort Worth Club building, yet I think that there is self-parking on the other side. If not, you can always park on the road either within a paid parking lot or metered parking, which is somewhat reasonable (12 minutes for every $0.25).
