How to get driver record from Texas State?

You have a Texas driver license, you need to get your driver's record and you don't know how to get it. Here is the recipe to get your driver's record right away.

There are two ways of ordering your driver record: (i) Order it online, (ii) Order it by mail.
There is no other way to get it and please do not try to go any driver license office. Since you will not be able to get your driver record from the office although you may spend hours there.

(i) Order it online:

The easiest and the fastest method to get your driver record is ordering it online. But you need to have following items with you:

  • Your driver license (Info on the license would be needed)
  • Date of birth
  • Last 4 digits of your Social Security Number (SSN)
  • A credit card. (Since you will be charged for this service)
  • Most importantly, you must know what kind of driver record you need since there exist numerous types of driver record and their prices are all different.

Below table shows the types of driver records and corresponding prices. Make sure which type fits to you before requesting a driver record.

Then click on "Order Now" button or simply click here directly to open the Licensee Driver Records page. After then, proceed accordingly and you will get your driver record right away. If you have a printer, you can directly print it in your hand.


(ii) Order it  by mail:

This method is the slowest one and may take a few weeks. Unless you have to do, do not choose to proceed this way. However, if you do not have your SSN number yet, this is the only way you can go ahead.

If your only way through driver record is this, then you should have driver record request form. Print this form and fill it out with your personal information. Put the fee according to the above table and your choice of driver record type. Cash is not accepted!!! Put a money order or a check inside the envelope together with the application form. Then mail the envelope to the address: "Texas Department of Public Safety, Box 149008, Austin, TX 78714-9008". 

Although 3 weeks passed and you did not receive the driver record, contact with the Customer Service.

Star Wars ASCIImation with Python - Windows

In this post, we'll watch a Star Wars movie in ASCII format. The only thing we need for this demo is Python-installed PC and internet connection. Figure : Screenshots from Python Command line while Star Wars is being streamed All credits gained in this demo will go to " blinkenlights.nl " [2] website, which broadcasts this ASCII movie using Telnet protocol on Port 23, and Python which makes socket implementation very easy for us. No authentication is needed for this broadcast.

STORY: Most Challenging Bug

It was an embedded software running on a specific hardware. Software was consisting of different modules for each task. The functionality that I was testing was related to two different modules which are written by two different developers. Required functionality was not working and test was failing consistently. Then, we debugged the Module-1 with Developer-1, Module-1 seemed to work properly. Then, we debugged the Module-2 with Developer-2, Module-2 also seemed to work surprisingly.

Afterwards, we suspected about the software testing tool and debugged it with the developer of the test tool. Not surprisingly, test tool also seemed to work properly : ). Ooopsss. What is next? The next suspicious guy was the data buses between test tool and the software/hardware. Then we checked data...
