Still work to be done…

I am fairly confident that anyone who takes the time to read this, is fairly up to date as to where we are at in the process. But for just in case purposes I will give a quick rundown.

The bill that we worked so hard on, was signed by Governor Abbott on June 14th, 2019 signing HB1755 into law. As exciting as that is we are not finished, and we still have work to do. The fine details have yet to be worked out during the Rule Making Process & we still need to fight for Sandrails. It would be nice if we could tell you when or how that process was going to happen, but we are not sure as of the time this is being written. What we do know is that the rules need to be complete, and the Law goes into effect September 1, 2019.

In the photos you will see that I have signed another contract with our Lobbyist Ron, because I am confident that we need his experience, guidance, as well as contacts to make sure that the Rule Making Process goes as smooth as possible. As of July 1st, 2017 Ron is back on the clock for us and we will need to continue to raise funds to reach our monthly goal of $2500.00 a month. But that will end August 31, 2019. I did send some funds to help catch us up to date seeing as we were behind on payments, but we are still behind. So please donate what you can, when you can. As I have said from the beginning, a little, plus a little, equals a lot!

If you would like to donate please goto PayPal & send a donation to faron@savethetexasdunebuggy.com As a side note, all funds go to help Save the Texas Dune Buggy, Sandrail, & Kitcar.

Thanks in advance,

Faron


Good News & Bad News

The Good News is that we have reached our Monthly goal of $2500 that it takes to fund Save the Texas Dune Buggy, Sandrail, & Kitcar. From the $10.00 to the $100.00 and more donations, THANK YOU! We continue to prove that a little, plus a little, equals a lot. Again, Thank You!

The Not so Good news is that HB 1755/SB 1462 are NOT SET for the May 1st Senate Transportation Committee Hearing. The unfortunate part is that there are only a few more hearings before the end of this legislative session. What does this mean for YOU, yes EVEN YOU! We have got to inundate Chairman Nichols Voicemail as well as email with our requests to have SB 1462 and companion to HB 1755 in the hearing held on May 8th. Make sure that you are civil an kind when you speak, that is how we have been from the beginning & how we need to continue to be. You do represent a large group when you call, so be cool.

Here is what you need to say in a nutshell.
Chairman Nichols, Please consider setting HB 1755 for a hearing. The companion to SB 1462, HB1755 by Ed Thompson adopts and codifies rules to provide for titling, registration, and inspection of certain assembled vehicles. Current DMV rules are unclear and contradictory, causing many Texans to keep vehicles off the road that had been legal for years. Chairman Nichols https://senate.texas.gov/member.php?d=3&lang=en
