The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) is encouraging residents to renew their license early or online this summer.
DPS says that summer is a very busy time at the driver license office, and many Texans can skip the trip to the office with online renewal and address change at Texas.gov.
"Texas driver license offices are especially busy during the summer when students and families are on vacation," said DPS Director Steven McCraw. "During these busy months, DPS encourages eligible customers to take advantage of our convenient options for online and phone renewal of driver licenses and identification cards or visit a DPS driver license mega center - if they are required to visit an office."
If a trip to the office is necessary, customers can visit mega centers in major metropolitan areas because they offer the technology and facilities with the fastest customer service.
Customers can also get in line before arriving at the office by visiting dps.texas.gov/DriverLicense/onlineScheduling.aspx.
Licenses must be renewed in person every 12 years for a new photo and eyesight testing.
