Ava's answer
Renew an existing Texas noncommercial driver license using a method permitted by DPS for your circumstances.
- Check DPS renewal eligibility: DPS explains online, telephone, mail and office options; eligibility depends on your record and license type.
- Follow your eligible method: Gather the documents and renewal notice required for your specific method; make an office appointment if DPS requires an in-person visit.
- Renew with DPS: Submit through the official DPS channel and pay the fee for your age and license class.
