He was struggling with addiction and mental illness. Most times he was chill but would fall back on drug use when things were bumpy. He told the counselors that he was suicidal.

Wish he had help for the drug addiction. Police came to the door to inform us of his passing. Eight weeks later came another knock this time telling me my daughter died in a car accident. It has been a rough season..His appointed lawyer wasn't much help scaring the hell out of him. Telling him he would spend at least two years in jail.

After scheduling my appointment I received a text message with the appointment confirmation of the date and time and a link that allowed me to check in online once I was there. I also received an email reminder. On the day of my appointment I drove into the parking lot, parked, clicked the link that was texted to me and I was checked in and received a DPS ticket number. I then walked in, waited in a line to speak with someone working at the desk. A friendly woman checked my documents, gave me some paperwork to fill out, and then told me to sit and wait in the waiting area. I sat at a table, filled out my paperwork and waited. I waited for about an hour and a half. During my wait several people that worked there came out and made announcements. They were there to help. When they finally called out my number I was relieved that the wait was over. The woman that was working behind the counter was friendly. She checked my documents, and then told me where to stand and took my photo. I paid, she gave me my paperwork and it was done. This process went really fast and took less than 10 minutes. Overall it wasn't a bad experience it was just very time consuming. The appointment time was at 10:40 and I left at 12:20. You will wait a long time before being seen but a positive is that everyone that worked there was friendly and helpful. A side note. Be sure to take hand sanitizer and some sanitizer wipes. I used the women's restroom and they were clean but they didn't have any soap in the dispenser and the large hand sanitizer bottle on the sink was empty. So take something with you to clean your hands just in case.

You may have to schedule it out a few months, so make sure to plan ahead. When you arrive, you sign in on the kiosk with either your name, your phone number, or your confirmation number which is emailed to you. The kiosk generates a number and there are screens in the waiting room to tell you which number they are on. The process moves relatively fast compared to the past, but you should still plan to be there for about an hour. My appointment was at three, I arrived a few minutes early and was out of there around 4 o'clock. The clerk that assisted me was very helpful and friendly. It was an overall successful trip and some pretty good people watching while I waited.

Not to mention, save some time and enjoy a lunch picnic on the inviting grass in the courtyard and garden.

City of Austin is an interesting place…read more The city has a variety of food options, music venues, the arts, and nature. Always good options based on what you are looking to do. But, there is overpriced housing and the infrastructure that does not meet the need of the current population. Traffic can be crazy based on where you are trying to go. The list can go on. I have alot of good memories of things I have checked out in Austin. But understand the appeal to check out other cities, when visiting.

My favorite places for coffee or dining include 1886 Cafe & Bakery, Bouldin Creek Cafe, Casa de Luz, Cosmic in South Austin, Draught House Pub & Brewery, Easy Tiger, Mission Burger, Mozart's Coffee Roasters, Pinthouse Pizza & Brewing, Quack's 43rd Street Bakery, The BE Hive Deli & Market, The Vegan Yacht, and Voodoo Doughnut. My favorite local breweries that I've been to include: The ABGB (Austin Beer Garden Brewing Company), Draught House Pub & Brewery, Jester King, Meanwhile, and Pinthouse. Central Market is the most impressive grocery store I've seen in Austin. These are the high-end locations of the H-E-B chain, which they have one or two of in major Texas cities. As far as country dancing, progressive two-step (travelling counter-clockwise around the dance floor) can be found at Broken Spoke, and Mavericks in Buda. Mercer Dancehall was also known for this, but, unfortunately, they recently closed. Otherwise, you find the stationary, slot-style of partner country dancing at places like Donn's Depot, Jo's Coffee on South Congress, Sagebrush, and The White Horse. It's basically Austin's version of country swing dancing. Although I've enjoyed craft beer at The ABGB, I haven't yet been there during live music, when people dance. However, judging by the size of the dance area, and photos online, it looks like the predominant style of partner dancing is country swing rather than progressive two-step. Fairfield by Marriott Inn & Suites Austin-University Area is a quality hotel that is reasonably priced, centrally located but off of the beaten path. If you're not used to driverless taxis, Waymo autonomous vehicles are widespread throughout Austin, where they have an exclusive partnership with Uber. Based on my experience at some of the most popular cafes, food truck parks, restaurants, and nightlife in Austin, the patrons are predominantly a younger crowd, in their 20s to 40s. I've written separate reviews for most of the places mentioned above.

Ended up doing a walk in when they opened at 8:30 and I was there for an hour for a registration renewal. They do have a drive through window for renewals which they said take 3-5 min per car. As I had a bit of a different situation, that wasn't an option. Limited seating, however when you get into the queue they text you your number and then again when your number is up. So if you happen to sit in your car, you'd still be able to run in. The lady who assisted was as confused as I was for what happened but made quick work of getting me situated and out the door in about 10 minutes.

The number to call is 512-974-4343. On my visit I brought all kinds of paint, fuel additive, cleaning agents, lubricants, and pesticides. To be honest, I thought they were going to charge me something for this collection of environmentally damaging products, but I offloaded everything onto their carts in a matter of minutes and was on my way. Quick, convenient and no charge. I thought I would add four photos for a little insight.
