after an hour's wait, inching along a dark corridor wall towards the Harris County Tax Office in the Bellaire Annex, I remembered an oath I had taken years ago
at this point I met Monique who was determined to improve the lot of her growing restive charges
whisking folks paying for licenses and such, she resolutely kept the vast majority who were paying property taxes on the left side of the wall
I had told her that their website spoke of a drop box, which she told me hadn't been available for > 1 year
she graciously offered to take my check & deposit it "in the pile," which seemed a good deal
wouldn't be half so unpleasant had the wifi been up
Ms Monique saved me another hour at least as only 2 windows were in operation
