Are you a Texas resident who’s ready to get your license? Let’s talk about the basics of getting your Texas drivers license. Sometimes all that info is hard to comprehend so we’re going to break it down with a step-by-step guide that makes it easy to understand so you know exactly what to do when you go to the Department of Public Safety (The Department of Public Safety is Texas. Jun 01, 2012  Tennessee, for example, gives new residents a 30-day window, North Carolina 60 days, and Texas 90 days. Transfer a Valid Out-of-State Driver License. To transfer a driver's license that's valid (meaning, not expired), visit your local Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) office. (Not sure where that is yet? We can help you find your local DMV.).

1. If you are a resident of Texas and would like to drive here, you will need a Texas driver license. Here is your complete guide that you will need to follow if you want to get, replace and renew your license faster and without extra effort.
2. The cost to obtain a new license if you are between the ages of 18 and 84 is the same as the cost to perform a Texas drivers license renewal for this age range. Similarly, the cost to renew a drivers license as an 85-year-old motorist is the same as the price of a new credential. However, replacing a lost Texas drivers license is less, at $11.
3. Getting your driver license in Texas as a new resident requires three main steps: Get an official state vehicle safety inspection - at one of these places. Get your car registered in Texas - at your county tax office. Surrender your old driver license and apply for a Texas license - at your local DPS.

When you are ready, you will need to take the following information with you to your nearest driver license office:

• Your parents or legal guardian. (Your parents are not exactly a “document,” but you do need to have one of them with you.) This may not just be an older friend.
• Proof of identification. This can be a U.S. Passport, or a birth certificate together with a social security card. There are some other documents that could be used instead, but these are the most common.^[7]
• Proof of Texas residence. For most students, a transcript from a Texas high school is the easiest way to show this. You may also bring evidence of your home address through a mortgage or lease.
• The completed application form.
• If you own your car, you need to bring proof of registration and insurance. If not, then you need a statement that says you do not own a car.^[8]
• License fee. The fee for a learner’s license is $16. You can pay by credit card, cash, check or money order.^[9]
• A statement of current high school attendance, or a diploma or GED. There is a form, the Verification of School Enrollment and Attendance, that you should be able to get from you high school office or guidance counselor.
• A signed form that verifies that you completed a driver education class.
