Driving License Deluge Shapes Baytown Queue Crisis
A Baytown crackdown on unlicensed drivers draws 140 to 200 people to the courthouse line every Friday and Saturday. Only 30 licenses are issued per day after 8 am and 1 pm written tests, with driving tests to follow. Minor Gerald Stone notes only 60 of 400 applicants this week will get tests. Many hope license restrictions are lifted, facing a long wait and crowded conditions that echo earlier enforcement efforts and legal challenges.
