I live in Texas.  I am sure other states have developed similar programs, but www.texasonline.com is just brilliant.  I literally just renewed the registration on my car for Denton County in 1 minute and 45 seconds.  All I needed was my insurance card and a credit card.  How did we ever survive in the “old days” going through lines, phones and mail to do this task.  I can get online from the comfort of my home while I am actually doing associated tasks and get something done with the government.

While I am happy to pay the extra $2.00 for this service, I do have to quetion it.  By using technology and being able to minimize the face-to-face contact, should not the cost decrease?
