Patrick's Rant 'o the Day - Texas DPS

So I went to the Texas Department of Public Safety today to get a Texas Drivers license. Anyway after sitting there forever and all the other stereotypical DMV stuff I get to the counter and they issue me a temporary paper "permit" and say I will get my new license in about 3 weeks, the problem that I have with this is that they took my Tennessee license, so for 3 weeks I have no valid picture ID. These closest things I have are my Texas A&M ID, which I assume is no longer valid as I have graduated, and an expired passport.

I mean how hard is it to have a card printer in each office? I know Tennessee does it, I'm sure lots of other states do it. Heck every college that I know of prints your student ID card while you wait so why can't Texas DPS?

this is what happened to me, and then my grandma died - and I arrived at the airport without a picture id. I should have picked up my passport, but I was somewhat distracted.
Don't you have a passport?

As stated in the blog (Molly's literacy thing really is true) my passprt is expired.

I think your expired passport and your temporary lisence would work as photo ID.
