Getting a new Texas identification card or driver's license

No vote, no problem...

 

The problem is that when you try to vote once for someone who is no longer a member of your party, the system doesn't even tell you why you should still have the right to vote on that person. It won't tell you what the rules are that apply. So, if an immigrant from China was born in the U.S. and, after he has entered the country as an adult, decides that he wants to vote for his child's political party, the government is not going to tell anyone why or why not, and thus what the rule to vote for that party is.

Another way to look at it is that the people are voting for some person, but they don't know why--they just know they want the person. And therefore, the government is not required to tell the people what they are voting for, because they don't know.

Here is another example: You go out to vote for someone, maybe a police officer from New York City, and there's a woman in a bright red coat and blue wig that says, 'Hey, I remember you'.

 

My thoughts exactly.

 

You don’t think the state of Texas should require you to prove you live in Texas in order to get an ID that will identify you as a Texas resident? Or did I misunderstand your complaint?

 

Do you realize that everything you said after the first line of your post completely negated the first line of your post?

 

Regardless of where one lives, if they get a driver's license or state ID they need proof of residency in order to get it. If I live in Texas or Arkansas or Oklahoma or wherever I cannot get a state ID or DL from a different state.

 

Well..you need to have an established residency for tax purposes, voting purposes, public schools and a number of other reasons.

 

You've gotta be trolling. Come on man, don't make it so obvious.

 

Give you an example, show you what I mean: suppose you're thinkin' about a plate of shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, "plate," or "shrimp," or "plate of shrimp" out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconsciousness.

 

You originally asked about showing proof of residence for getting an ID. That question has been answered as to some reasons one needs proof of residence in order to get a state issued ID. What kind of ID are you asking about?

 

Driver licenses (DL) and identification cards (ID) issued by the DPS Driver License Division are a key link to public safety, privacy, and national security. Many medical and financial institutions, retailers, governmental entities, and other various organizations accept a state issued DL and ID for purposes of confirming your identity so you have access to the services you need.

To reduce your exposure to identity theft and fraud, ensuring the validity of the information and documentation you provide for the issuance of your DL or ID is a very important part of the application process. With this in mind, DPS utilizes a nationally recognized DL and ID issuance process, which involves verifying your identity, residency, and US Citizenship or lawful presence (the legal authorization to reside in this country.)

 

Wow: I couldn’t have written it better.

 

This is different. One needs to show proof that they are legal. You already have that proof with your birth certificate (or passport or current DL/ state ID)
