TX does also. It is where you get your driver's license.

Texas DMV has nothing to do with driver's license.  DPS administers that.

Kirk, you get your drivers license from DPS, not the DMV. It is rare that anyone in Texas would actually visit a DMV office. There are only 15-20 regional DMV offices statewide. 

 License plates/vehicle registration, as you mentioned, are handled through the County Tax Assessors offices with the county collecting their taxes, along with the States share. 

 

EDIT: Oops, I stopped reading at the end of page 1. I didn't see Chirakawa's post. He beat me to it by a few hours

DPS                    Department of Public Safety

DMV                  Department of Motor Vehicles

While those are pretty standard names, they are not the same in all states and the organizations included in them also vary, but it is true that they are the more common terms.  Wikipedia says:

In the United States, a department of Public Safety is a state or local government agency which often has a broad portfolio of responsibilities, which may include some or all of the following:

In the United States, a department of motor vehicles (DMV) is a state-level government agency that administers vehicle registration and driver licensing. Similar departments exist in Canada under different names. The name "DMV" is not used in every state or area, nor are the traditional DMV functions handled by a single agency in every state, but the generic term is universally understood, particularly in the context of driver's license issuance and renew

 

While those are commonly used terms, there are several states that have a single agency that combines the functions of both. Examples, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas....  etc.
