Geez...way to instill a respect and reverence for the court system.

A pair of deputies came to my parents' house in Texas one time to haul me off to court for failing to appear for jury duty. Unfortunately, they hadn't checked their records closely enough to see that I had married (changed my name, no longer lived at that address, info that had been filed with the DMV and voter registrar's office). I'm sure they would have handcuffed me and hauled me off to the courthouse had I been there, as my mother said they were not very polite about the situation. Too bad they had no jurisdiction in Minnesota, where my husband and I had moved a couple of years earlier.

DMV? No government agency in Texas by that name. Drivers licenses are issued by the Department of Public Safety (DPS) and cars are registered in the county courthouse in the county where one lives.
