Here is where you get your T.W.I.C . It stands for Transportation Worker Identification…read moreCredential. The TWIC is an identification card for all personnel requiring unescorted access to secure areas of Marine Transit Security Act regulated facilities and vessels and other sensitive areas like refineries. There were small snags when TWIC came out where some people were not getting their cards for months and still a lot of others getting faulty twic cards that had to be reissued but they have since fixed this. Around the beginning of August I was able to get mine verified and processed in about one week so things are not so bad at this time. Parking is ample since the building is situated in the middle of a lot where it is surrounded and if you are lucky can find a shade one one side of the building or trees that are there on hot summer days. Once you take the elevator to the third floor you go down the hallway where the arrows point you. Toward the end of the hallway before it turns right you will enter the door on the left. From there if you are lucky and land the right timing you will get to a desk where you will proceed to show the person at the desk your Government or State issued I.D. card and social security card. Most important if you were NOT born in the USA you will be requested to show another form of document like your passport, naturalization papers and such. After this you pay the person in Cashier's check or Money order for $129.75 and then fill out the information requested on a clipboard that they will hand to you. After handing the desk person the clipboard you wait in the waiting room that probably holds about 25 or so people. There probably isn't an over flow since you make an actual appointment online to come in and get this done. When you are called up again you are taken to the back room where you are shortly interviewed a few questions. During this process you will have your index fingers printed as well as both thumbs, a photo snapped of you and you are released on your way with the anxiety that you hope everything goes by quickly where you are notified when your card is approved. The personnel here are not rude, actually I remember pleasant, would be nice if downtown Houston courts and offices could model after these folks as well as the folks over at the Safety Council building but oh well.

I stopped by this East Freeway DPS location to renew my drivers license and it was fine. The office…read moreis small but busy. I had made an appointment about a week ahead of time and made sure to fill out and print my application ahead of time and also make sure that I had all of the appropriate forms of identification. I had to wait about 20 minutes beyond my appointment time even after arriving early but had no problems beyond that. Take note of the following things: - Make an appointment ahead of time. I cannot stress this enough. The DPS website says that all locations accept walk ins but this is not the case. I witnessed multiple people without appointments be turned away. - Make sure you read the DPS website carefully to ensure that you have all of the required forms of identification. - Do not try to arrive super early for your appointment to "slip in and get out." They are really strict about only allowing people to check in 30 minutes before your scheduled appointment. - Be patient!

I will preface this review by stating that I am a former member of the Texas Department of Public…read moreSafety. I had an issue with my CDL and was corresponding with the CDL department in Austin over the phone. The DPS personnel that I was dealing with in Austin told me that I needed to go into my local DPS office and fill out a form. I asked if I'd need an appointment and they said no. I went to this location this afternoon and it was pretty dead honestly. I walked up to the bald headed woman at the information desk and before I could even get a word out she demanded to know if I had an appointment. When I told her no and tried to explain the situation she interrupted me multiple times and threw a piece of paper at me that had their web address on it and walked away. I went out to the parking lot, fuming at what had just transpired and tried to make an appointment. What a surprise, no appointments available anywhere in Houston for 3 weeks. I call the people in Austin back and left a voicemail. While waiting for a callback, I found that someone had canceled their appointment in Baytown. When I got to Baytown, the people in Austin called back and apologized profusely and allowed me to do what I needed to do via email. Having worked for the DPS, I can tell you that most of the people are rude and nasty but the people at this location on the East Freeway really take the cake. That bald headed woman shouldn't ever work with the public.

Medical trash has been left on the west bank of Garners Bayou in Humble Texas. During the first…read moreweek of January 2014 I began complaining to the Harris County Flood Control (specifically Raul Ramos). He initially told me he would have someone come out and look at the medical waste before it could be cleaned up. He contacted me after his waste specialist came out and deemed the medical waste safe for the Harris County Flood Control to clean. It is now January 31, 2014 and the medical waste is still in the same place. During every rain storm the medical waste is slowly being washed into Garners Bayou which will eventually end up in the Gulf of Mexico. Our tax dollars are wasted everyday by the Harris County Flood Control District. I have video and photos of the disgusting mess, and will continue to document it as evidence against them.

When it's your turn to walk thru the second door, there is someone there to Greet you and make sure you have all the necessary paperwork for whatever you're here to accomplish. Apparently they're going thru a computer upgrade so it's taking more time than usual to be called up. You receive a number and sit down and wait patiently for your number to be called. I don't know if the ac is broken but it is so hot in this office, my glasses were steaming up. Arrived around 250pm and was called up at 3pm. Staff was friendly and provided service in a timely manner. I definitely recommend this place over downtown as you have plenty of parking at this location and it's free!

Bought a brand new car from a Californian company that apparently isn't allowed to sell cars in…read moreTexas - ahem- so they sent me a bunch of paperwork to file myself (usually done by dealerships). I had a lot of questions and emails to the Harris county tax office were promptly answered. The answers to my questions were pretty generic and didn't really give me the details I was asking for so I decided to make an appointment to go in person as I didn't want to mess up and snail mail the wrong title fees and sales tax. I lucked out and managed to snag an appointment for the very next day (10/12/21) when all the other locations didn't have any availability until at least a week or two out. ***FYI*** they don't take walk-ins for vehicle related stuff. Lady in an email said I could walk-in only to pay the sales tax on my new car but couldn't register. I got to my appt 10 minutes early, there were 2 other people getting served. When one of those people left, I was called up. Handled my business with no hassle I'm about 5 minutes and WALKED OUT WITH TAGS IN HAND! I had read online that tax offices in Texas were taking weeks or even over a month to mail tags! Seriously was blown away by how smooth this transaction was. I had had a fair amount of anxiety about this but it couldn't have gone any better. The best experience I've ever had at a government office!

I went through the website, and figured out my forms ahead of time, filled them out and printed them. I had some questions and emailed them ahead of time, they answered within two business days. Very good service. The place is located in the palm center. A rather old,strip, but a big parking lot. A refurb wouldn't hurt anyone. The tax assessors office is small corner adjacent to the courthouse. Make sure you go in the right door, and wait in the appropriate spot, or they will get at you. Already seated in the waiting room. I walked up to the desk, provided my paperwork, and she was very happy that I had already had it filled out and was ready to go. Gave me a ticket and even though I had just walked in, I was called up to a desk within 2 minutes and was done in 5 minutes. Keep in mind I came 20 minutes early and they still saw me early and I was out before my original time had passed. Excellent service! Do as much as you can to get the things done ahead of time, and you will not have to wait, and it will be a much easier and more pleasant experience for you.

I went to renew my handicap placard. I tried Wednesday when I was off only to find out they are all…read moreclosed on Wednesdays now. I had to get permission to go in to work late so I could have it not be delinquent. I can't stand more than a few minutes without intense burning and pain during bad flares, and I'm in a horrible one now since my trunk fell on me and I had already gotten shoulder injections a few weeks prior. My back problems have been present for over 20 years, and I have fibro, AS, and autoimmune issues as well. Anyway, I usually go to the one on Chimney Rock, but that one can take a really long time. If I was off I wouldn't mind so much. The reviews for Griggs as well as calling and speaking with a very nice woman pointed me in the direction of this location. I planned on getting here at 7:30, but rain and life had me moving slow. I arrived in the parking lot after 8:20 and was out by 9:07. That's with me shuffling around my bags because of the rain and trying to protect my paperwork before actually going in. I was even able to get 2 placards, which I was about to ask for as mine looked like who did it and what for after 4 years of actual use. Faded to nothing and taped together in 2 places. I just turned 42 and work full time in addition to having nieces and nephews. My placard is always moving, and I drive my brother's vehicles since I can't easily move the car seats with my musculoskeletal and pain issues. The actual time from waiting in my seat to the desk and out the door was maybe 10-15 minutes. The only suggestion I have is the sign in sheet for the handicapped like the Chimney Rock location has so we don't have to stand in line and wait to check in at the desk for a number. Thankfully the line was short and I spoke with a lovely woman while waiting. However I had brought extra items for the wait(as I've had to wait hours in the past), my chair pillow, umbrella, iPad, and my bag was heavier than usual. Standing was extremely painful. It's not the same as standing with nothing in hand. There were chairs against the wall, but I did not want to risk losing my place in line. Outside of that it was a great experience. I'll be coming to this location for my needs from now on even though it's a bit further from home.
