I’m now retired; figured I’d better make it official seeing
as how my Texas Locksmith License is up for renewal in September. I wonder; will the State send me an official
notice telling me my license is suspended when I don’t purchase locksmith insurance and send them a copy
showing I jumped through that particular hoop.
I was a locksmith long before the State of Texas decided to revoke part of my inalienable rights. Then one day the State forced
locksmiths to obtain a license for that which was an otherwise lawful
endeavor. Over the years I’ve mentioned this to the Department of Public Safety, those letters were mostly
ignored.
What a shame; it would have been nice to have full
citizenship, to be able to work without asking the State's permission, without
paying a fee for the privilege of earning a living.
Maybe the State of Texas
will present me with a gold watch in honor of my forty years serving the public. Add that to other improbable events; like
Hillary Clinton being held accountable for any number of alleged criminal acts
committed over her career as a public servant.
No, the State of Texas
will automatically mail me a form letter advising me to cease any and all
locksmith business as they classify me as officially Suspended. I won’t call them letting them know I’ve
retired. They might send a uniformed
trooper to my door; a chance for him to meet my grandchildren since I spend
most of my time at my place in the country.
I’ve come to the conclusion that the only thing the Department of Public
Safety does when they open an envelope is look for a check, deposit that check
and mark the appropriate applicant’s folder “Paid”.
It will be up to someone else to carry on the fight for the
right to work without a license. I knew
that one day retirement
would come; well how about that, I’m retired.
