OF COURSE two days after I pay a huge "stop payment" fee, the missing check in question shows up in my mailbox. I am so frustrated with the Dallas Co. Tax Office. All those times they gave me the run-around, ANYONE could have easily noted if they'd mailed me a form telling me they couldn't process my request. Instead, they all acted like they had no idea what they were doing and my check was hopelessly lost. What a bunch of idiots.
Grrrrrr.
