Texas DMV FAQ

You can either renew your license at your nearest DPS driver’s license office location or you can renew it online via their website.

You can get a replacement ID or driver’s license via the DPS website, if your last renewal was done in person. If you’re getting your first Texas license or ID you will have to do it in person.

It is recommended by the Texas DMV that the seller accompany the buyer to the county tax office to review the title application with a specialist. You will need to provide a signed vehicle title, application for a title and/or registration, and release of lien (if necessary). Once the vehicle transfer notification is received by the DMV (buyers are required to put the title in their name within 30 days) the DMV will update the record of the vehicle as sold.
