Vendor Bills Cost You Money

In this episode we talk about what vendor bills are and how they cost you money.

Vendor bills are legislation that is filed with either the Texas House or Texas Senate that create a fee in some form or fashion.

This fee might be an added tax or it might be a fee for a parenting class that is mandated in order for you to have your divorce finalized.

We discuss what they look like, how they effect you, and further thoughts for you to consider on the this matter.

I am adopted. As an adult, I am unable to get a copy of my original birth certificate in Texas, because of politics.

Everything in your life is affected by politics. In this episode, we take a deep dive into the history of adoption records in the state of Texas and the nation. I will provide a little behind the scenes of being adopted, carrying this legislation, and how bills are assigned to certain committees. And most importantly, we will talk about political coin.
