Hi all,
I recently moved to Texas and need to register my vehicle. I have valid vehicle registration for Missouri (where I moved from) until March of 2021, but obviously, I'd like to register my car here asap. However, my boyfriend is in a high-risk group, and I really don't want to go in-person to register my car. Does anyone know if new residents can register their vehicles by mail? Has anyone done this?

Thank you!

I'm looking for a therapist in the Houston area. I live in the Heights, but I'm not sure how much that matters since I assume appointments will be virtual for awhile.

I'm a female in my mid 20s with mild anxiety and depression, and I've gone to therapy for several years just to work out some issues I have had. Unfortunately, my old therapist retired (and I moved out of state), so I'm looking for someone new. Does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks.

Hi all,

I recently graduated and had my start date at my job deferred several months. I am looking for another job, but I'm not having much luck. Working at a grocery store or something is not really possible because my SO has an autoimmune disorder. Under the CARES act, it seems that graduates whose job offers were rescinded or delayed are eligible for unemployment. However, Texas's unemployment application does not have an area that I can see where I can clarify this situation. (The options are things like laid off, fired, quit.. my situation is closest to a temporary layoff, I suppose, but not exactly).

I've been trying to call the unemployment office but to no avail. I can't get through to a person. Does anyone have any advice/thoughts?

I rent an apartment in the Heights and would like to get flood insurance to cover my personal belongings in the event of a flood. I've tried googling this but can only find descriptions of flood insurance and not information on how to actually purchase it, especially as a renter instead of a homeowner. Anyone have any tips?
