If you come to Texas, I'll show you how it's done.

You mean in Maryland. I've cashed third party checks in California too.

That's not what Bob said.

No, the original payee is the name in the Pay To field, but he is no
longer the payee after he signs it over to a third party. That person then
becomes the payee, just as if his name were in the Pay To field.

On the contrary. Any establishment (that accepts checks) will cash a check
that you (1st party) write to them (2nd party). Some establishments will
also cash a check made out to a '2nd party' - who has signed it over to
you (3rd party). The 'payee' line on the front of the check bears the 2nd
party's name, while his signature (and ID information) is written on the
back, with or without a note that they have assigned it to you (third
party). Easier done than said.

I'm sorry your blind to your own ignorance, but perhaps it'd be best if
you'd clean your dirty mirror...then you wouldn't look like a fool with
both feet stuck in your mouth.
