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.

Kirk W Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 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: Quote 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: Fire services: provides fire prevention and suppression Rescue services: provides rescue services Haz-Mat services: provides hazardous materials response. Ambulance and emergency medical services (EMS): provides emergency medical care and transportation security guard licensing services: including crime prevention, suppression and investigation, uniformed patrol and response, and operates the CrimestoppersProgram. Emergency communications: operates the public interface emergency communications telephone system by providing the 9-1-1 and Enhanced 911 emergency telephone numbers. Office of Emergency Services (OES): plans for and operates the Emergency Operations Center during calamities, disasters, special events and emergencies. Inspections and code enforcement: usually building safety, which includes construction, electrical et al. and/or vehicle inspections. Animal control: This category could also include wildlife officers, game wardens, and dog catchers. Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV): includes administration of driver's licenses and license plates. 3 Quote 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. Good travelin !...............KirkFull-time 11+ years......
