I am doing this video as requested by many of the viewers and subscribers.
This video purely based on my experience. If I miss anything, request you to please add in the comments.
Now the question is who can drive in Texas?
Residents with valid unexpired Texas driver’s license and nonresidents - Driving privilege reciprocity allows a person to use a valid, unexpired foreign license to operate a motor vehicle in Texas for up to 1 year or until a person becomes a Texas resident, whichever date is sooner. Once a person becomes a new Texas resident, they must apply for a Texas license within 90 days to continue to drive legally. For more information, please review the Moving to Texas page.

Getting a learner’s permit is one of the first steps that teens and young adults take to becoming a licensed driver. Then to apply for Drivers License.
A learners permit allows the student driver to legally drive with a licensed driver over the age of 21 in the passenger seat.
There are a number of steps that are taken to getting your learners permit in Texas, including starting Drivers Ed. If you know how the system works ahead of time, you can plan out your actions ahead of time, enroll in the right courses, fulfill all your driving requirements, and earn your driving privileges.
How to Apply for a Texas Driver License.
Go to Texas Department of Public Safety website www.dps.texas.gov all the details are clearly provided this website.
Before your local Driver License Office Visit. Just ensure that you have the below documents.
The Texas Driver’s Handbook is available online to help you qualify for a Texas driver license.
1. U.S. Citizenship or, if you are not a U.S. Citizen, evidence of lawful presence
2. Texas Residency
3. Identity, and
4. Social Security Number
5. I have provided by Leasing Agreement, valid passport, valid visa extension notice, Electricity bill, SSN - all should be original - they wont accept copies without the originals.
7. Evidence of Texas Vehicle Registration* for each vehicle you own. Registration must be current. Visit Texas DMV vehicle registration for more information (New Residents who are surrendering an out-of-state driver license only)
8. Proof of Insurance* for each vehicle you own
*If you do not own a vehicle, you will sign a statement affirming this.
You may download this brochure for information to assist you in determining which documents you may have that will meet these requirements.
Additionally, you will need to provide evidence of completion of:
1. Impact Texas Driver (ITD) if you will be taking a driving test for the issuance of your driver license
2. A six-hour adult Driver Education course,
a. If you are between the age of 18 - 25. You must complete Adult Drivers Education course before you can start learning to drive your motor vehicle. (Does not apply to new residents who are 18 years of age or older and surrendering a valid, unexpired out-of-state driver license)
All new drivers over the age of 25 who plan to earn a Texas driver’s license need to pass a test at DPS office. You can take this test by spending time waiting at the DPS and feeling stuffy while taking a supervised written exam, or you can take online adult drivers ed course for Texas and complete the test hassle-free.
Once you have gathered the necessary documents and completed the required courses, you will need to do the following:
1. Complete the driver license application before arriving at your local office (This form is also available at all driver license offices).
2. Make an appointment at a driver license office. Try early morning from 6:30 till 8 o’clock, I am sure you will get an appointment for the same day. If appointments are not available in your locality, try for nearby location.
3. Provide the following documentation to the license and permit specialist:
• Application for the issuance of a driver license
4. Provide your signature for DL or ID.
5. Provide your thumbprints.
6. Have your picture taken.
7. Pay the application fee.
Once you have the learners permit - go to a third-party provider for driving training or test as per your requirements. If you clear your road test, the driving school will provide a clearance letter in a sealed envelope which we need to submit in DPS office. For submitting this, you need to take another appointment. Try online early morning from 6:30 till 8:00 for getting same day appointment.
8. Pass the vision exam.
9. Take and pass the knowledge and driving tests. - เพลง

Hi @Tint & Travel,
I have two concerns:
1. I just moved to Plano,Taxes for 6 months, is this long enough to use the Leasing agreement and recent electricity bill as proof of Texas residency?
2. My F-1 visa on my passport has expired, but I am currently on F-1 OPT status and have a valid EAD. Can I use this to apply for a DL/Permit?
First one is fine. Second one, is the visa status is extended ? What documents you have to show the proof? Till what date your visa valid. Even it is expired in passport
@@TintTravel I think I can show my EAD card and OPT I-20, they are valid until Feb 2025

Hi there @Tint & Travel,
I'm close to Plano and landed in US few months back. I'm a dependent and I don't have a SSN. I've completed Aceable six hours adult driver edu. However,
1. Do we need a SSN to apply for Drivers license/learners permit ?

1. There is an affidavit or a form to be submitted if you don’t have SSN. Please check their website. It is clearly mentioned there.

is there a vision ( eye) test while appearing for the learners permit? if yes, how is it being conducted? Thanks
They will examine your vision while you're at the driver's license center. You should bring your corrective lenses if you wear any.
If you don't wear glasses or contact lenses, you must have 20/40 vision or better in both eyes.

Please schedule an appointment. DPS will guide you

For visitors with B1/B2 visa can drive with their international license
Sounds good , but when this period of B1/B2 expired and obtain with another legal process will it be possible to apply for Texas driving license or only can drive temporary with our international license for 90 days?
@nicob981 we should have valid visa to apply for driving license. If you’re B1/B2 expired, how can you stay here. You can drive 90 days with international license
