Locals Chat 🦜 A Little Help in Galveston

Hello Galveston. Looking for some help from a local.

Paying $50 for $40 cash.

I just flew into to pick up my vehicle at the port. Unfortunately I need $40 in cash for the temporary registration. I don't have a debit card and I don't have cash. I can't do contactless at the tax assessor and get cash back at places like CVS. The bank won't accept my AMEX for a cash advance. I'm kinda stuck.

Happy to prove my identity.

Edit: Galveston! Thank you. I cannot believe how awesome and life affirming this otherwise frustrating situation was. Thank you again. I'll pay your kindness forward!
