[QUOTE="rsimms, post: 5588218, member: 1534"] This is correct I believe. And yes, show up in court with a license and judges will often waive the fine, but they'll still often charge you the court costs (which is the biggest chunk). This post also illustrates something I've been concerned about. LOTS of people are very happy that TWRA changed it so that licenses are always good for one-year from the date of purchase. And I understand the benefits. The downside is that people will FORGET, whereas everyone used to know that ALL licenses expired Feb. 28. Sure, the state is supposed to send e-mail reminders that your license is expiring. But e-mail addresses also change, e-mails can disappear into Junk or Spam folders or some people just get so many e-mails they don't bother reading them all (or read them rarely). Bottomline, I believe there is going to be an increase in the number of people caught "Fishing without" in the coming years as a result in the change of expiration protocol. I'm curious about scn's opinion on this? [/QUOTE]
