Mr.E.G.

I can pull the name, address, registration info and if there's a lien on any vehicle with a TX plate instantly. I don't work for the DMV, police or any other govt entity.

How? One of the "pay to get info" sites?

Pretty much. Again, it's public information. These companies just gather it all up. I use Lexis Nexis, which is available to the public, but you probably only get the super awesome version if you have a law firm account.

EG you are leaving out key pieces of information.

I am not sure if you have actually searched public records, but if you have you know you have to make certain declarations on the reasons why, whether it is through Westlaw or Lexis. You'll also be aware of the ramifications if something came as a result of your search.

This isn't some free for all search engine for people.

Mr.E.G.

That's true of certain information, but you can get all of the information I described even when you select that you have no permissive use and that it is not for litigation purposes, the two questions that Lexis asks before providing info.

Also, just to be clear, I'm not advocating revenge or using Lexis to track someone down and teach them to improve their driving. I didn't think it needed to be stated that you an still get in trouble if you legally acquire someone's info lawfully and then use it in an unlawful manner.

But, as has been suggested in this thread, someone's home address obtained from their license plate isn't exactly a state secret.

I love the way they feel the need to offer their opinions on something like this- i'm sure they live their lives absolutely without fault. I'll bet if you followed them you'd see them passing the right, not signalling, speeding 5 over the speed limit, crossing the lane after a turn without signalling. yup, i bet their shit don't stink either.

Given they didn't sign the letter, it holds no weight. If they had signed the letter instead of sending it along anonymously, then maybe you could have had an intelligent conversation with them. Nothing but cowards they are.

I hope one day to receive a letter like this. I just have people follow me to work to tell me how i wronged them on the road.

Today I honked at a woman who was buried in her phone instead of noticing that the light had turned green. She flipped me the bird. Some people just feel entitled that they can do no wrong and it is their job to control others' behavior.

Writing a letter takes a lot more effort than a hand gesture, and finding your address much more effort. I wonder if it is really from someone that knows where you live already.

Is the postmark from your local station? (951 W Bethel Rd, Coppell, TX 75099)

Ya, I don't understand people. If I do the same (which admittedly has happened), I will simply wave as an apology and move on. If you F up, just acknowledge it and move on. I totally understand how road rage occurs and people end up on the evening news.. I was driving to work one day and quite pissed off for other reasons when a guy cut me off causing me to slam on my brakes. Of course I honked at him and he had the nerve to give me the finger. At that point I was beyond mad and pulled up next to him honking and gesturing him to pull over. Of course the little b*tch just stared straight ahead and ignored me and just kept driving. He was driving an Audi (shocker). I don't know what would've happened if he pulled over but I sure as hell wasn't in the mood to back down at that point.

I'm not sure why people act so hard when they're behind the wheel of their car. Nothing worse than people who act like they own the road and can do no wrong.

Is this the first step in a scam or shakedown?

If there is no such motivation by the sender and no contact information I'd pitch it

TommyDeVito

We don't. And to really wet your noodle, most don't care. They voluntarily spew out all their business on social media so the the local government/municipality says F it, we'll do the same!
