Local tip for Dallas

Estimated Appointment Duration
15-30 minutes at the DPS office for renew driver's license
Texas driver's licenses are valid for 6 years (or 8 years if renewed online). You can renew up to 2 years before your expiration date or up to 2 years after. If your license has been expired for more than 2 years, you will need to apply as a new driver. Every other renewal must be done in person at a DPS office, where you will complete a vision screening and have a new photo taken. If you are eligible for online renewal, you can skip the in-person visit entirely. The in-person renewal appointment is one of the quickest DPS services, typically taking only 15-30 minutes. This is also a good time to upgrade to a Real ID-compliant license if you have not already done so.

You can renew your Texas driver's license up to 2 years before the expiration date. There is no penalty for renewing early, and your new 6-year period starts from the current expiration date, not the renewal date.
If your license has been expired for more than 2 years, you must apply as a new driver, which includes taking the written knowledge test and possibly the driving test again.
