Moving to Texas.

We moved to TX 9 years ago. At that time, if I recall correctly, you need to retake the hazmat(if you have it now), fingerprints, photo etc. Have your SS card, Birth Certificate, current State license with you, lease agreement, or purchase documents if you bought a house.
If you are a married female, and you changed your name at marriage, bring your marriage license/documents also.

 

Where in Texas have you landed?

 

Move back to where you came from please

 

DPS is the agency that handles driver's license issues. Here's a link to their HME page. Hazardous Materials Endorsement (HME) for Commercial Driver License (CDL) | Department of Public Safety

If I remember correctly, when I moved back to Texas I had to go through the fingerprinting & threat assessment process again.

 

Just kidding..welcome to Texas

 

When I first moved to Texas, the company I was working for had a driver bunkhouse. I changed my car title to Texas and got registered to vote using my company’s address. (Completely legit, by the way) Take those two items into the DMV and, congratulations, you are now a citizen of Texas.

Before you can change car title to Texas, you must change your car insurance (to prove coverage) to TX as well and I remember that being a mild PITA.

Texas Residency Requirement for Driver Licenses and ID Cards | Department of Public Safety

 

unless you'd vote for beto!

 

Texas Residency Requirement for Driver Licenses and ID Cards
applying for or renewing a driver license, ID card, or commercial driver license.

To verify Texas residency, an individual must present two printed documents from the list below. Both documents must contain the individual's name and residential address. One of the documents must verify that the individual has lived in Texas for at least 30 days. Individuals who are surrendering a valid, unexpired driver license or ID from another state, or applying for a commercial driver license, must still present proof of residency; however, the 30 day requirement is waived.

Individuals who are unable to provide two acceptable documents may be eligible to complete a Texas Residency Affidavit.

The absolute sheer driving force of our national economy - without truck drivers, our entire national economy would come to an absolute standstill - if not outright be dead.

Over the mountains, through the woods, into the valleys, coast to coast, from sea to shining sea - truck drivers can and do go anywhere and everywhere, every day, every night, all year round.
