Current DPS appointment wait times in Houston average 4-6 months for renew driver's license appointments. The Greater Houston area (population 7.1 million) has 3 DPS offices serving residents, creating significant scheduling bottlenecks especially for driver's license services.
Local tip for Houston
Houston has the longest waits in Texas. The Rosenberg Mega Center is your best bet for faster availability. Houston Gessner is consistently the hardest office to book — avoid it if you can be flexible on location.
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.
