Do you know how hard it is to get a phone number for the Texas State Police? I am in another state--I cant call 911

I spent hours on the internet at tx dot and all the info is for motor carriers (businesses)

I made several long distance phone calls to the Texas Department of Transportation and got a merry-go-round of recorded menus and wasted a long time on hold.

I finally called a City Hall and was shuffled thru 3 more agencies and was told to go to the tax assessors office and pay $5 for a one time trip permit.

I'll let you know if I go to jail for dragging this trailer home
