No, you cannot change your driver’s license from another state to a Texas driver’s license online. The process of transferring an out-of-state driver’s license to Texas requires an in-person visit to a Texas Department of Public Safety (TxDPS) office.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you understand what you need to do:
Steps to Transfer Your Driver’s License to Texas:
1. Visit a local Texas DPS office:
Locate your nearest Texas DPS office by visiting the Texas DPS website and using their office locator tool (https://www.dps.texas.gov/apps/DriverLicense/OfficeLocations/DLOfficeLocations/SearchResults). The closest example is the Texas DPS – Aransas Pass, 919 S Commercial St, Aransas Pass, TX 78336, (361) 758-8680 · Mon–Fri, 8am–5pm.
2. Prepare the required documents:
Proof of Identity: Provide a primary identification document such as a birth certificate or a valid passport.
Proof of Social Security Number: This can be your Social Security card, W-2 form, or a paycheck showing your full Social Security number. (Note: the office allows you to provide your SSN from memory with a signed waiver instead of presenting an SSN document.)
Proof of Residential Address: You will need two documents showing your Texas residential address. Acceptable documents include a utility bill, lease agreement, or a bank statement. (We help you with these documents)
