I have been trying for WEEKS to get my new car registered/pay sales tax/get plates.

Every time I try to schedule on this link, I get a message saying that there are no appointments available: https://www.hctax.net/Auto/Appointments/Appointment

I have tried every branch withing a 30 minute drive and every date between today and April 15 (when the COVID exemption expires) and they're apparently ALL full.

I tried calling the downtown branch to see if they just do walk-ins, but nobody is answering the phones.

It's my first hurricane season on the Gulf Coast/in Houston, and this season is predicted to be quite active.

I'm working on stocking up on supplies and one of my biggest concerns is power outages.

Losing A/C in this heat would be killer for pets/elderly/children, so I'm thinking of getting a generator. Even just a tiny unit to run a fan would be better than nothing.

People up north in CT and NJ have lost power for 4+ days due to the latest storm.

How did Houston's power infrastructure fare during the last couple major storms? Did your power go out, and if so, for how long?
