Estimated Appointment Duration
30-45 minutes at the DPS office for new driver's license
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.
