The Dallas-based service watches the state's public scheduling system and books driver license, learner permit, identification, REAL ID, and commercial driver license appointments on a customer's behalf at DPS offices statewide.
DALLAS, Texas — June 13, 2026
Securing an appointment at a Texas driver license office often takes months. Get DMV Appointments, a Dallas-based service, monitors the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) public scheduling system and books appointments on residents' behalf for driver license, learner permit, identification, REAL ID, and commercial driver license transactions at DPS offices statewide. The service is designed for situations where the public scheduler initially shows little or no convenient availability for weeks or months.
The pressure on residents is easy to understand: a license, permit, ID, REAL ID, or commercial license appointment is often tied to work, school, travel, and family logistics. When nearby appointments are unavailable, Texans may have to keep checking the public scheduler, take time off work, or consider offices far from home. For many families, the difficulty is not the appointment itself; it is finding a usable opening before a deadline passes.
“The appointment system hasn't kept up with how families actually live. The appointment itself takes under an hour once you're in the door. Waiting months to get that hour, taking a day off work, or driving far from home because it's the only option — that's the part we built Get DMV Appointments to fix.”
Get DMV Appointments was founded in Dallas after the founder, a software engineer and father, was unable to obtain a timely DPS appointment for his teenage son. When his son became eligible for a learner permit, nearby offices showed the earliest openings months away. The family later faced a tighter constraint: a driving school test packet with a short validity window, while area offices were booked well past that window. Missing the deadline would have required retaking the course and restarting the process.
To address the problem, the founder built a tool to monitor the public DPS scheduling system and identify appointments as they became available. His son secured an appointment within the deadline. After encountering similar accounts from other parents across the state, the founder developed the tool into a service available to any resident, requiring no technical knowledge to use.
“If it was this hard for my family, with the resources and technical background we have, I kept thinking about how many families across Texas were stuck.”
Get DMV Appointments watches the same public Texas DPS scheduling system that any resident can access, looking for openings on the customer's behalf so they do not have to keep checking it themselves. Customers provide details on who needs the appointment, the type of transaction required, and which DPS offices or areas are acceptable. When a matching appointment becomes available, the service books it and sends a confirmation to the customer, with the appointment added to Apple Wallet, Google Wallet, or a calendar file.
Get DMV Appointments states that it is an independent service and is not affiliated with the Texas DPS or any government agency. According to the company, it accesses only the public scheduling system available to every resident and does not hold, resell, or alter appointment availability. The company publishes an ethics policy and a no-scalping commitment, and states that it encrypts sensitive personal information and automatically purges customer personal data 90 days after a search is completed or cancelled.
Get DMV Appointments charges a one-time fee of $29.99 per search, with no subscriptions or recurring charges. The fee covers the company's appointment search and booking service; it is not a government fee. The Texas DPS does not charge for scheduling appointments, and residents can always book directly through the official Texas DPS website at no cost. If no appointment is booked within seven days, the payment is automatically refunded through the payment processor, with no additional action required from the customer.
“Every decision starts with one question: would I want this for my own kid? We could charge more, lock people into subscriptions, or make refunds hard to get. We don't, because this started as something I built for my own family.”
Get DMV Appointments is available to residents across Texas for DPS driver license, learner permit, identification, REAL ID, and commercial driver license transactions. Additional information is available at https://getdmvapt.com.
