Our Texas license process was pretty painless. We were encouraged to make online appointments at a “MEGA CENTER” location and I tried it in multiple days and it would never let me.
So, instead I picked up my gf and went with her to a smaller one closer to my job. We were in and out in 2 hours as “walk-ins”. We had our forms and proper documents and got complimented by the employees for actually giving a shit.
Texas does online renewals so
on that end when the time comes (if we are even still in Texas after that long).
Texas is weird though because they give out DL’s through their “Department of Public Safety” and their car registrations are through the actual DMV. So you have to go to two separate places to get your license and register your vehicle. I guess it works though because all in it took me 3.5 hours to get my license and register my car if you’re adding up total time.
