I moved to Plano from Reno, Nevada and was blown away at the service of the people and the efficiency of the office. I registered a trailer, motorcycle, and two vehicles and was in and out in about 20 minutes flat. I just got back from there to get a document notarized and didn't even have to wait in line. For a community service job, these people always seem to be happy. Now if only the drivers license office was run by the registration office. That place needs some serious work, but that's another review.

I was with my dog, waiting on my company's roadside assistance and feeling pretty vulnerable. Chris Sorenson stopped, immediately reassured me, and promised he wouldn't leave until I was taken care of and he kept that promise. His calm, professionalism, and genuine kindness turned a scary situation into one where I felt safe and supported. He handled everything efficiently and with care, but more importantly, he showed up as a human when it mattered most. Five stars doesn't feel like enough. Thank you, Chris ...truly.

I was charged $129.45 in tolls for under 20 minutes of driving…read more This is not an opinion - this is based on actual billing records with timestamps, and I'm attaching a redacted copy of my statement to prove it. Here are the facts: Chisholm Trail Parkway - about 7 minutes of driving - $2.80 Completely reasonable and what any driver would expect. On Tarrant Pkwy / North Tarrant Express: Outbound trip - less than 7 minutes - $51 Return trip - after exiting Chisholm Trail Parkway, I was on local roads for roughly 5 minutes, then entered Tarrant Pkwy / North Tarrant Express again: About 11 minutes of travel - $78.45 Total on Tarrant Pkwy / North Tarrant Express: $129.45 When you look at the timestamps on the statement, these are not single tolls. They are multiple charges stacking up within minutes of each other, creating a total cost that is completely disproportionate to the time spent on the road. This is directly supported by the billing data. Final comparison: About 7 minutes on Chisholm Trail Parkway - $2.80 About 18 minutes total on Tarrant Pkwy / North Tarrant Express - $129.45 Same area. Same day. Within minutes of each other. There is no reasonable way for a driver to anticipate that one toll road would cost a few dollars, while another would cost over $100 for a similar duration of travel. If you're driving in this area: Do not assume toll roads are priced similarly Be extremely cautious using Tarrant Pkwy / North Tarrant Express Check your statements carefully No one expects triple-digit toll charges for short trips. In my opinion, drivers deserve far more transparency so they can make informed decisions before entering the road.

Wow - a government office that communicates. They do exist :)…read moreI was planning on leaving work early today to get to the Plano County Clerk's office. I wanted to check their hours. Fortunately, the online website told me the Plano county office was Temporarily closed. You don't know how much time it saved me and I am so glad I looked before leaving my office early. Basically the storms yesterday created some flooding in the building, but I am impressed with the thoroughness of the information on the website. Thank you Collin County Clerk Office. Way to go!!!

I made an appointment on their website a few weeks in advance. I would highly recommend doing this so you're not stuck waiting any longer than you need to. We showed up about 20 min before the appointment and checked in using the link they either email or text you with. In total from walking in to walking out it probably took about 20 minutes. We were called up to window #5 and the gentlemen who helped me was great. He was very quick with my request but not in a rush kind of way. He was super nice while fulfilling my request.

A few others came and hour later and it was still quiet. While the hearing was going on, I sat in the waiting area and talked to the individual providing security. He is actually part of Homeland Security, he's not a contract business. Found that interesting. He was a great guy, passed the hour and half pretty fast chatting with him since it wasn't busy. Place is clean. There was another older gentleman on the other side of the sliding glass window answering phones. That was sort of weird actually, he was a bit loud even even with the window closed. Building is nice. Not sure it's age, tho it doesn't look old. Been well kept. Exterior shares a cobblestone drive courtyard with a high rise hotel. It's really pretty out there with all of the trees. If you come here, it's because you have to, it's not a place to recommend as it's not an elective place to attend. Tho, if you do have to come, it's a pleasant experience.

So... We all know government agencies are somewhat nonsensical :)…read moreTook a friend to get a replacement for their SS Card, not a bad wait. Here's the kicker, at some point a certified birth certificate is not acceptable? Go figure.. She was told needed a doctor's statement with name & dob signed & stamped!! Kid you not! The response to shock was "I don't know this is you" This says welcome FRAUD. We all know there are bad actors in every profession. So you could create multiple versions of identities. Sent request to Doctor office, stated had to be stamped. Finally got the letter, no stamp (they don't have one) Went right back, 20-25 minutes later process completed. Birth Certificate works to get a passport (at least it did) Can you think of any reason it would not be accepted for replacement SS Card & since when? Oh!

Clean. Orderly. Gone are the days of waiting three hours through a cacophonous milieu of chaos…read more This Department of Public Safety Office makes getting your license renewed easy. First, you do have to secure an appointment online. When I got the notification via mail that it was time to renew my license, I made an appointment a few months in advance on their website. Once I arrived , there was ample parking for my early morning appointment when I arrived. Upon walking in, there was an employee who had me check in via iPad to assign me a number and then directed me to a waiting area. I only had to wait about 10 minutes before my turn. Once my number came up via an announcement and a readout on the flatscreens in the waiting area, I made my way to the appropriate desk. The rest of the process was pretty much unchanged from years previous- submitting forms, taking a new pic and paying the fee- it was all pretty simple and I was in and out in about 35 minutes. I would definitely book my next appointment at this branch. It was hassle-free and such a departure from the DMV of yesteryear.

I didn't know if I would be able to get an appointment before my drivers license expired in a few…read moredays, but I did. I was able to do my application, as all of us due to get an appointment at a drivers license location that had an appointment available. I had to keep trying because the first one's that were available were a month away or more. I didn't plan to renew it that far in advance. But I kept trying to find an appointment earlier. There must've been some cancellations as I was able to pick one up same day in Garland. So I Ubered over to the Department of Public Safety to a store there in Garland and it was really organized. Very nice place, very clean, plenty of room even with lots of people in orderly transition to get there renewals done there. The people were real friendly and I got it done after about a half hour wait everything was cool. I brought over my passport and my drivers license and that's all they needed. I filled out a one page form. Got a temporary permit and the real license is on its way to my mailbox, Easy Peezy!

It's clear users are using this specific location to generalize a review of the Plano PD as a…read morewhole. And while I don't want to trivialize other users' experiences, I also take it with a grain of salt because it's one perspective without giving opportunity for other side to give their take on the situation. Plano PD can only do the things within the confines of what they're able to enforce. Many times they go above and beyond but don't presume that should be the expectation. So when another reviewer says that Plano PD couldn't do anything for their situation with uncle, it's probably the system that's tied their hands. They can't enforce a law that's not there so you're expecting something that's not for the police to handle. Then with another reviewer's situation with being blocked. Sorry but enforcement of violations trumps inconveniencing you. Also, for the family member with mental illness. You don't wait till it gets to that point and expect the police to know and fix your problems in a volatile situation. Need to be proactive especially if it's someone you supposedly care about. Don't rely on others to put in the work. Generally I will say Plano PD has been great. I see way too many infractions that I care to count though that would've been nice if the police would've caught. I wonder if I have video evidence of these infractions if the police can do anything about it after the fact but I guess that's a slippery slope of law enforcement. Still, it's quite annoying when people cut me off countless times and that in and of itself is frustrating but at least use their blinker when changing lanes!

The Plano Police Department should be sued and reason why the department didn't take our case seriously because of our race. Let's be real here!
