Yeah, that really frosted me too. I don't remember having to
provide this much info in the past, but, given my middle-aged memory...
Besides, if they wanted to be really efficient, they'd tie it into the
drivers license database or something, which already has the info they're
asking for. I ended up calling the DFW to ask them why the dept was being
so intrusive over just a parking permit, the guy didn't know, and gave me
the address of the people to write to. Haven't written yet, though.
