Getting a new Texas driver's license is required for anyone who has recently moved to Texas or is applying for the first time after completing all prerequisite driving education and testing. Texas law requires new residents to obtain a Texas license within 90 days of establishing residency. The process includes a vision screening at the DPS office and may require a written knowledge test or driving test depending on your situation. If you hold a valid license from another U.S. state, you may be exempt from the knowledge and driving tests. International license holders will need to take both tests. The appointment typically takes 30-45 minutes and your temporary license is issued on the spot, with your permanent card arriving by mail within 2-3 weeks.

The 6-step process for getting your first Texas driver's license at DPS in 2026.
Establish Texas residency
Move to Texas and gather two documents proving residency (utility bill, lease, mortgage, voter registration, or vehicle insurance card). New residents must obtain a Texas license within 90 days.
Gather required documents
Bring original (not photocopy) proof of identity (passport, birth certificate, or permanent resident card), Social Security card or W-2, and two proofs of Texas residency. New residents also bring proof of vehicle registration + insurance.
Complete driver's education (if under 25)
If you're under 25 and have never held a license, complete a Texas-approved driver's ed course — 32 hours for teens 15-17, 6 hours for adults 18-24. The completion certificate expires 30 days from issue.
Book a DPS appointment
Schedule at public.txdpsscheduler.com under "Apply for first time Texas DL". Metro waits run 3-6 months; smaller suburban offices 2-4 weeks.
Pass required tests
Complete vision screening at the office. Take written knowledge test (30 questions, 70% to pass) if required. Take driving test if you don't hold a valid out-of-state license. Out-of-state license holders are typically exempt from both tests.
Receive your license
DPS issues a temporary paper license on the spot. The permanent plastic card arrives by mail within 2-3 weeks.
If you hold a valid driver's license from another U.S. state, you are typically exempt from both the written knowledge test and the driving test. If your out-of-state license is expired or you have an international license, you will need to pass both tests.
