They did have an area covered to help with the sun or rain but if it's a long line not everyone will be able to be under it. Thankfully it was a nice cool morning. I didn't have to wait long before I got to go inside. It took around 30 mins from the time I got in line and walked out with my tag. The DMV rep that I got to work with was Barbara. She was super nice and helpful. Everyone who worked there was nice and professional. This was one of the best experiences that I've had at a DMV. Btw: they're only letting one person per household inside, if you need someone else to go through the process. The other person has to stand at the exit door until they're needed. They're letting children go in with the adult. Mask are required.

I became involved with the Prison Entrepreneurship Program after reading a b-school friends blog…read moreentry of his experience with the program working as an Executive Mentor. I was moved by the concept of providing inmates the means to view their release from prison as a true second chance and a way to positively re-enter society. As the program explains, two-thirds of released inmates will return to prison within three years. However, those inmates that graduate from this program have a recidivism rate below three percent. From those numbers it is clear that PEP changes people's lives for the better. These statistics are more easily understood when one attempts to take a look at the world from an inmates' point of view. Most everyone in the outside world understands that these men committed terrible crimes and deserved to be punished. Yet much fewer probably realize how very scary it is for the inmates to leave prison and re-enter society. Inmates are released with the clothes on their backs, up to $100, a bus ticket and a criminal record. In reality, these men will be repeatedly rejected from their families, potential employers, public housing facilities and even churches. They face a difficult road. PEP provides these men a real opportunity to reintegrate them back into society and to never return to prison. For many of these men, graduating from this program is the greatest accomplishment of their lives. I have worked with PEP as an Executive Mentor over the last two programs. My duties in this role aren't many, mainly they are to revise an inmates' business plan, resume and personal statement as well as perform some online research for his business idea. All told I have done less than 15 hours of work each time, so it is not a huge time commitment. There are many optional events one can participate in also but usually they require you to be in the Dallas- Fort Worth area and I have been unable able to participate so far. I believe this is a worthwhile program which I plan to continue to work with and I would recommend to anyone to join in.

I didn't make it past the front desk....and this is my review of my experience…read more The front desk clerk (I'm talking to you, Mrs. Yellow shirted, "I Love My Library Card" lady) was the most emotionless, bored, uninterested, monotonous, person I have ever seen as a customer service public servant. She offered no greeting, but did ask if she could help me. What I needed help with required a manager and she was more than eager to get one for me. While I waited for the manager, she made eye contact once, while continuously scanning what was going on behind me and continued with small talk about the weather. I asked if she was a volunteer, to which she answered directly, "Nope". I then asked how long she had been working at the library....her response? "27 years". Good. Lawd. She needed to obviously retire. She showed no excitement or interest in her job. Even Richard Simmons would have gotten depressed.

I confronted a Manager here years ago who would be VERY personal at front and to the point of talking down to your face, trying to be intimidating and even threatening to ban you if you did not comply with his harassing ways. At some point he would spy behind me while using one of their terminals looking over all my private infor while I was using a Government site. I asked him to back off and he would get furious about it, going as far as turning said terminal off and even trying to get my flashdrive off said computer. Same Manager once called my phone number trying to drag said argument and stating that I would not be welcome back, again harassing me even on my phone. I hope since then that person has been replaced, but I am not too confident of ever coming back.

On this evening, I overheard one employee talking to a customer in a very snarky tone. Yes I realize that times have changed however you don't have to make someone feel little by saying things to make them feel stupid. Another lady asked a question and was told that she would need to Google the answer to that. I hope I've just come at a bad time (although it was NOT busy, there were three employees and like four/five customers) and that this isn't the norm to be expected.

If you were foolish enough to use a debit card, you'll have multiple charges coming out of your bank account until you can get the mess straightened out. ~You now have to chase the money that is owed back to you. How long will that take? I have no clue as I've only begun the chase. I have to wait for the charges to actually clear my bank account then take a printout to the court proving that I was charged multiple times. Then they'll cut me a check. *blink* I'm thinking if I have this cleared up in a month it'll be a miracle. Take it from me, if you wish to be a law abiding citizen in Highland Park, make it as easy on yourself as possible. Pay your ticket in person, with a check (leave a paper trail). Then I'd suggest keeping a record of your payment in your car for a couple of years. If they can't even process a simple online payment, who's to say they'll be able to record your payment properly and won't issue a warrant? Way to go, Highland Park. Even Dallas has you beat on this one.

I would give them -1,000 stars if I could. I just finished my hearing for property appraisal…read moreprotest. I lost despite the fact that I presented clear evidence that my appraisal was inaccurate. What bothers me is that the panel was unprofessional and rude. They had their mind made up in the first few seconds, without considering my evidence. I presented a comp from a house on my street. Similar to ours, it was a new build in the same year and sold in the same year. It is on the same street, one block down. That house is 1,000 sq feet larger than ours but has an appraisal from DCAD that is $100,000 less. How is it possible? The smaller house has a higher appraisal. The panel dismissed this comp and started talking about houses on streets I never heard of rather than considering the relevant comp on the same street. The ideal comp is from a house on your own street. For the panel to dismiss this comp is beyond belief. The panel appeared angry that I protested last year. Well, DCAD valued my house at more than the purchase price, so I would have been a fool not to protest. I won last year. It is my legal right to protest every single year if I so choose and do so without prejudice against me. This was not done. I don't know who the panel members are. If they are DCAD employees then that is a conflict of interest. If they are someone else, they need to find people who can act professionally and who understand how comparables work. This entire episode leaves a very bad taste in my mouth. The process is corrupt, rigged, and unfair.
