Jury duty at the Allen court is so much more pleasant than jury duty at Crowley court. Parking in…read morethe garage is a breeze, not to mention that it's validated (meaning discounted, not free) when you are doing your civic duty. Checking in is fairly simple. You just walk in the building via the parking garage, go up the escalator, and then through the metal detectors. After going through the metal detectors, your path will change depending on where you're headed. For people with jury duty, you proceed to the right and check in with the staff there. I much preferred my jury duty at Allen over Crowley. Once I checked in, I received a bit more information and headed to the main room where all other potential jurors were sent. Usually my luck runs out but not on the day of my most recent jury duty. Not only did I find out the good news that I passed my principal certification exam, I also got dismissed from jury duty and had a free day from work. Once you throw in the fat $6 check I later received in the mail, I came out winning. Oh wait, you have to deduct $3 for parking. But still, I got a free day from work for being dismissed from jury duty and I made 3 bucks? #winning

This site is easily visible on the trip between the city center and the museum district, and offers a welcome opportunity to consider the services of people (and horses) in these high-risk professions.

I went to the first counter and told the lady that I was there for a new library card and she asked me for my id or something with my address on it. I told her that I had a picture of an envelope with my name on it and she said unfortunately they could not accept this. She was so nice about it and told me that they are open until 9pm. I was able to find something with my address on it and I returned. I was able to get my library card and I went to the information desk and asked if they had the books on my list. Both of the ladies behind the counter were so nice and helpful. Unfortunately none of the books I wanted were available, but they were at other locations. The awesome ladies recommended a few, but I had either read them or they were not available. I ended up checking out their rows and rows of non fiction and fiction books. I finally decided on a Liane Moriarity book. I told the ladies what I decided and they were so nice and supportive about my choice. I used their self check out, which I love and checked out their community wall. They have tons of activities and events going on at the library and online. With your library card you can get tons of free e-books.

Justice is served! Recently, I got a bogus ticket from the…read moreDallas Police Department for the alleged violation of parking in a bike lane. I knew I was innocent. I just had to get the judge on my side on this and make them see things how I see things. They say that a man who represents himself in court has a fool for a client. Well, this fool fought the law, and won! Now, the prosecution (the City of Dallas) has to prove guilt, and I shouldn't have to prove my innocence. However, the officer who wrote the violation wrote a violation for violating a non-existent law! There is no law on the books of the City of Dallas that prohibits you from parking in a bike lane. Park away! Being from out of town, I wrote the judge a quick letter on the back of my ticket, and a few weeks later, I received notification from Dallas Municipal Court that all charges had been dropped! Justice is served.

What they don't tell you is that the first appearance is just a room with a kid da who calls you up and offers you options to take care of the citation. what? it's massive waste of time for the general public. you're put in a position where you're frustrated and have to plan on coming back at a later date as well as learn the process of discovery. It's actually hilarious but in my opinion a little predatory. they are using fear and delay to push most of the nervous and no educated public to just accept it. I received a simple speeding ticket and it should've been handled like all tickets are and the cop should've been there at the first appearance. this court also needs to check their da, rules, and processes. The DA came in, slouched down in his chair, chewing gum, and overall just not very engaging. Times have def changed in the courts. The. mix in the fact that the bailiff allows men in shorts (against rules), flip flops on many women, and nonstop people walking in and out of proceedings. The positive is you can choose a deferred adjudication and pay a smaller fine to wipe the ticket away. Do better Dallas

This Texas marker is located at the southwest corner of Division and Center near downtown…read moreArlington. It reads, "The Bankhead Highway, often referred to locally as the "Dallas Pike" east of Center Street and the "Fort Worth Pike" west of that road, played an important role in Arlington's future by connecting it to Dallas, Fort Worth, and the rest of the U.S. The Pike, formerly known as the old Dallas-Fort Worth Road, was actually in use as a Wagon Road long before Arlington was platted. The Road, now Abram Street, being the busiest stretch of Highway in Texas, was designated as State Highway 1, by the Texas Highway Department, which was formed in 1917 to create a state highway system. "In 1920, as part of the "Good Roads" project, the Bankhead Highway system, named for John Willis Bankhead, was designed as a portion of the new National Auto Trail system, running from Washington, D.C. to San Diego. The road mostly followed State Highway 1, and would be built along Division Street in Arlington. The chosen safer route was entirely new construction, 25 feet wide and eight inches thick, covering 5.84 miles from the Dallas County line to the west side of Arlington. By design, rail crossings were eliminated including "Death Crossing" west of town. The Highway was declared open to traffic in Nov. 1922. "Over time, the Highway has expanded and some of its early features no longer exist including Johnson Creek Bridge's decorative handrail and a pedestrian underpass at the Masonic Home. In 1926, State Highway 1 was redesigned as U.S. Hwy 80 and again as State Hwy 180 in 1991. The Bankhead Highway opened up business opportunities to many smaller towns along its route, increased commerce between east and west Texas, stimulated automobile transportation, and increased tourism. Overall the Highway was a major factor in transforming Arlington from a small town to a thriving community." It's not "Route 66" but it's part of the automotive history of America and certainly Texas. [Review 16087 overall - 267 in Texas - 1592 of 2021.]
