Standing in an elevator in Texas I read that it was somehow controlled by TDLR. ?ÿFirst attempt at translation was Texas Department of Labor Relations. ?ÿKnew that couldn't be right.

Finally remembered to consult Google. ?ÿThe answer is:?ÿ https://www.tdlr.texas.gov/

That's the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations. ?ÿGo to the link provided, then click on license types. ?ÿThe exotic range of "technical" areas is astounding. ?ÿYou can't dream up such weirdness without the aid of illegal substances. ?ÿShould call it the Catch-all Department.

Why would a person require a license to mow a lawn?

It depends on what type of "grass" he is mowing.?ÿ ??ÿ

Don't you know, after the age of 16, people are adults and are considered a landscaper and it is a profession that charges sales tax.

How many surveyors outside Texas charge sales tax?

How many doctors charge sales tax? How many attorneys charge sales tax? How many engineers and architects charge sales tax?

A surveyor provides a professional service, just like other professionals; why should we be treated differently?

That soggy wet snow has got to be the coldest kind of weather. Like an ice bucket challenge.
