DPS's notes for this office
Printed with the office record on the DPS locator, in DPS's words: All driver license and identification card services including drive tests are by appointment only.
Appointments and what this office does
DPS driver license offices issue and renew driver licenses, commercial driver licenses, identification cards and election identification certificates, give knowledge and driving tests, and handle changes of name and address, replacements and reinstatements. DPS says all of these services, drive tests included, are by appointment only, made on the DPS appointment scheduler, and that its Mega Centers are its premier locations; when one appears in a search DPS encourages using it for every driver license need, and when none is near, any office can assist.
Before the visit, check the document list for the service: the driver license guide covers a first license, the renewal guide a renewal, and the fees page what each costs. Vehicle registration and titles are not DPS services; they are handled by the county tax office below.
