Usually, these places are good for grabbing your cash, and a good place for a nap.
Bellaire branch has the ABSOLUTE BEST in/out service of any location I've ever been forced to visit. It's never pleasant to have licence tab renewal on your To-Do list. We all have bad memories of hours spent sitting on a hard-backed chair clutching a little numbered paper listening to crying babies wondering how much time will pass until our own number is called.

They had us wait in a specific spot while they cleaned the counter and everything around it. She helped us with what we needed. Because of an issue on our part, we had to reschedule and she was able to accommodate my schedule. I know at places such as the SOS office, there is a lot of unpredictability, but I HATE waiting when I have made an appointment. Very VERY small price to pay for quick and...
