Texas Drivers Permit Question?
Q. I recently received my drivers permit from the DPS. I got the slip and everything and drive with my parents. My question is that is it okay that while i'm driving and I have a parent guardian in the passenger seat; is it legal to have more people in the back seat of my car? I only have my learners permit and all my friends told me that I can drive with as many people as I want in the car, but I have to have a parent guardian in the passenger seat. My parents want me to make sure that this is right so I can do some of the errands for them without getting out of the car and switching places with them every time someone else gets in the car.

A. It looks like your friends are wrong. You didn't say which Phase of the license you have. I found the following on Phase 2 (so Phase 1 must be even stricter): Phase Two restricts the driving privileges of persons under 18 years of age during the six-month period following the issuance of an original Class A, B, or C driver license (Provisional License).

They may not operate a motor vehicle between midnight and 5:00 a.m. unless the operation of the vehicle is necessary for the operator to attend or participate in employment or a school-related activity or because of a medical emergency. In addition,… [cont.]

How can this be true? Do illegal aliens REALLY get better FREE health care than the US Military?
Q. Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas , Texas is a fairly famous institution and for a variety of reasons: 1. John F. Kennedy died there in 1963. 2. Lee Harvey Oswald died there shortly after. 3. Jack Ruby-who killed Lee Harvey Oswald, died there a few years later..by coincidence. "On the flip side, Parkland is also home to the second busiest maternity ward in the country with almost 16,000 new babies arriving each year. (That's almost 44 per day---every day) A recent patient survey indicated that 70 percent of the wo men who gave birth at Parkland in the first three months of 2006 were illegal immigrants. That's 11,200 anchor babies born every year just in Dallas. According to the article, the hospital spent $70.7 million delivering… [cont.]
