I understand that not everyone enjoys Facebook so I do my best to keep you up to date here as well. I see that people look at post, but no-one is responding. Should I continue to post here?

The current Legislative Session ends on May 24th, 2019. The Senate Transportation Committee normally holds their hearings on Wednesdays, unfortunately, they will not be meeting on Wednesday, May 24th, according to their schedule online. At this point, we are not sure as to the reasoning.
Seeing as we are nearing the end of this session, it is EXTREMELY important that the members of the Senate Transportation Committee know without a doubt that we are all interested in SB1462 passing THIS SESSION. PLEASE take the time to Call or email each and every member!
If you are a Texas Resident here is what you need to say in a nutshell.
"Hello my name is ___________ and I am in full support of SB1462 passing this session, and I am asking for your support as well. Please vote in favor of SB1462" Then get a little personal & let them know why. Remember to make it SHORT, SWEET, & PERSONAL!
If you are NOT a Texas Resident & would like to give your opinion, this what you should say.
"Hello my name is ________ and I am not a Texas Resident but I am in full support of SB1462 passing this session. Because I fear that if Texas continues to disallow vehicles like mine, the State (Name the State you live in.) will follow Texas and crush a portion of the automotive hobby. I ask that you vote in favor of SB1462." Then get a little personal & let them know why. Remember to make it SHORT, SWEET, & PERSONAL!
It is important that the message you send is personal, but it has to be quick and to the point! Keep in mind it is this groups goal to have a LONG list of people who are interested in SB1462 passing. We want your opinion noticed, but we also want a lot more to do the same as they all need to be counted.

Good News & Bad News 4-25-2019 5:30PM

The Good News is that we have reached our Monthly goal of $2500. that it takes to fund Save the Texas Dune Buggy, Sandrail, & Kitcar. From the $10.00 to the $100.00 and more donations, THANK YOU! We continue to prove that a little, plus a little, equals a lot. Again, Thank You!
The Not so Good news is that HB 1755/SB 1462 are NOT SET for the May 1st Senate Transportation Committee Hearing. The unfortunate part is that there are only a few more hearings before the end of this legislative session.
What does this mean for YOU, yes EVEN YOU!
We have got to inundate Chairman Nichols Voicemail as well as email with our requests to have SB 1462 and companion to HB 1755 in the hearing held on May 8th. Make sure that you are civil and kind when you speak, that is how we have been from the beginning & how we need to continue to be. You do represent a large group when you call, so be cool.
Here is what you need to say in a nutshell.
Chairman Nichols,
Please consider setting HB 1755 for a hearing. The companion to SB 1462, HB1755 by Ed Thompson adopts and codifies rules to provide for titling, registration, and inspection of certain assembled vehicles. Current DMV rules are unclear and contradictory, causing many Texans to keep vehicles off the road that had been legal for years.

I understand that I am being a bit of a NAG, but it is VERY important that Chairman Nichols hears from a LARGE Number of us. That way he will understand that SB 1462 passing is VERY Important & want to put it on the Schedule for a hearing!
He probably will not be around to pick up the phone today, but we can fill his voicemail & his email.

Noonish May 14th, 2019.
I understand that I have been saying that we are waiting a lot lately, however I assure you that there is a lot of work going on behind that we are not seeing!
Right now I am asking that each and everyone of you just in the Drivers seat and reach out to Lt Governor Dan Patrick. (Link provided)
https://www.ltgov.state.tx.us/
or call his office
512.463.0001
Click the link above and then scroll to the bottom of that page and fill out the " Contact the Lieutenant Governor"
What we are asking is that you do is ask Lt. Governor Patrick reach out to the Chairman Nichols and have him schedule our bill HB1755 to be heard in a Transportation Committee Hearing. Also ask that he reach out to the other members of the Transportation Committee to ask for their vote in favor of HB1755.
We need hundreds of you to reach out to Lt. Governor Dan Patrick! Please give this post a like if you have sent a email to the Lt. Governor.
HELP US, HELP YOU!

GREAT NEWS!!!

86(R)1755 & companion bill 86(R)1462 have been scheduled for a hearing in the Senate Transportation Committee Friday May 17th, 2019. The meeting starts at 8:00AM.

TIME & DATE: 8:00 AM, Friday, May 17, 2019

PLACE: E1.016 (Hearing Room)
CHAIR: Senator Robert Nichols

PLEASE STOP MAKING CALLS TO ANYONE IN THE CAPITOL BUILDING!

This is it! Friday will be the very last time that we will be able to do ANYTHING to move our bill down the line in person. I have asked a few people to speak at the hearing, but do not want a huge list of people to do so. If we get repetitive or go on to long we will do far more harm than good!

However, when we attended the House Transportation Meeting it spoke VOLUMES when large group politely stood up and walked out after we were done. So if you are able to attend, PLEASE Make the time to do so, as I said our large group being in attendance had a VERY large impact with the House Transportation Committee!

PLEASE MAKE THE TIME TO JOIN US AT THE CAPITOL BUILDING FRIDAY MAY 17th, 2019 MEETING STARTS AT 8:00 AM.

TIME & DATE: 8:00 AM, Friday, May 17, 2019
PLACE: E1.016 (Hearing Room)
CHAIR: Senator Robert Nichols
