Note to Dallas County Constable, Precinct 1

Dear Derick Evans, Constable, Dallas County, Precinct 1,

You, by way of Officer B. Still (what a name, right?), have wasted my time. I received a citation from Officer Still on March 1. Said citation instructed me to appear "on or before March 15 at 10:00 a.m." Well, I appeared March 13, March 14, and March 15. However, I was not able to enter a plea and resolve my case because my citation has not been entered "in the system."

Has B. Still not uploaded the citations he wrote? He says he has, but I suspect that isn't the case. I am trying to perform my duties as a lawful citizen, but I am being thwarted by either the incompetence of your officer, the defectiveness of your computer system, or the general inefficiency of your office.

Now I am to understand that my time is going to continue to be wasted as I have to call regularly to find out if my citation appears "in the system." I want you to know that I am very displeased with this situation. I also want to remind you that yours is an elected position, and while I do not live in your precinct, I know many who do.

Your unwitting victim,
Samsara
